VERSE

Hey, Mr.

Tambourine Man, play a song for me

I'm not sleepy and there is no place

I'm going to

Hey, Mr.

Tambourine Man, play a song for me

In the jingle jangle mornin'

I'll come followin' you

Though I know that evening's empire

Has returned into sand

Vanished from my hand

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

CHORUS

Hey, Mr.

Tambourine Man, play a song for me

I'm not sleepy and there is no place

I'm going to

Hey, Mr.

Tambourine Man, play a song for me

In the jingle jangle mornin' I'll come followin' you

VERSE

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, heavy wandering

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 wandering

Hey Mr.

Tambourine Man, play a song for me

I'm not sleepy and there is no place

I'm going to

Hey, Mr.

Tambourine Man, play a song for me

In the jingle jangle mornin' I'll come followin' you

Though you might hear laughing,

spinning, swinging madly across the sun

It's not aimed at anyone,

it's just escaping on the run

And but for the sky there are no fences facing

And if you hear vague traces of skipping 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 seeing that he's chasing

CHORUS

Hey, Mr.

Tambourine Man play a song for me

I'm not sleepy and there is no place

I'm going to

Hey, Mr.

Tambourine Man, play a song for me

In the jingle jangle mornin' I'll come followin' you

VERSE

And take me disappearing

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

CHORUS

Hey Mr.

Tambourine Man, play a song for me

I'm not sleepy and there is no place

I'm going to

Hey Mr.

Tambourine Man, play a song for me

In the jingle jangle mornin' I'll come followin' you
