Bob Dylan
Mr. Tambourine Man
Bringing It All Back Home (1965)

Capo 3e fret + Dropped D

D(sus2)

  G       A               D               G               G := G/B
  Hey Mr. Tambourine Man, play a song for me
          D                Em              A(sus4)
  I'm not sleepy and there is no place I'm going to
  G       A               D               G
  Hey Mr. Tambourine Man, play a song for me
         D             G                 A         D(sus4,sus2)
  In the jingle jangle morning I'll come followin' you

         G                  A          D             G
Though I know that evenin's empire has returned into sand
D                G
Vanished from my hand                                      (centre couplet: D  G)
        D               Em                  A(sus4)
Left me blindly here to stand but still not sleeping

My weariness amazes me, I'm branded on my feet
I have no one to meet
And the ancient empty street's too dead for dreaming

  Refrain  (fin: extra D)

Take me on a trip upon your magic swirlin' ship
My senses have been stripped 
My hands can't feel to grip                                  
My toes too numb to step
Wait only for my boot heels to be wanderin'

I'm ready to go anywhere, I'm ready for to fade
Into my own parade
Cast your dancing spell my way, I promise to go under it

  Refrain

Though you might hear laughin', spinnin', swingin' madly across the sun
It's not aimed at anyone
It's just escapin' on the run
And but for the sky there are no fences facin'

And if you hear vague traces of skippin' reels of rhyme
To your tambourine in time
It's just a ragged clown behind                            
I wouldn't pay it any mind
It's just a shadow you're seein' that he's chasing

  Refrain 

G  A  {D  G  x 6}  A  A  {D  G  x 4}  A  D(sus4,sus2)          w/ solo d'harmonica

Then take me disappearin' through the smoke rings of my mind
Down the foggy ruins of time
Far past the frozen leaves                                
The haunted, frightened trees
Out to the windy beach
Far from the twisted reach of crazy sorrow

Yes, to dance beneath the diamond sky with one hand waving free
Silhouetted by the sea
Circled by the circus sands                          
With all memory and fate
Driven deep beneath the waves
Let me forget about today until tomorrow

  Refrain
