Mr Tambourine Man

Stevie Wonder

Tom: D

Intro: D   G   A

Chorus:
G           A               D               G
Hey! Mister Tambourine Man, play a song for me.
        D                G     Em        A
I'm not sleepy and there is no place I'm going to.
G           A               D               G
Hey! Mister Tambourine Man, play a song for me.
       D             G       Em        A         D   G   D
In the jingle jangle morning I'll come following you.

         G                  A          D                 G
Though I know that evenin's empire has returned into the sand.
D                G             D               G
Vanished from my hand, left me blindly here to stand
    Em        A
but still not sleeping!
   G          A             D             G      D              G
My weariness amazes me, I'm branded on my feet I have no one to meet.
        D             G            Em       A
And the ancient empty street's too dead for dreaming.

Chorus

              G              A      D       G
Take me on a trip upon your magic swirlin' ship
D                   G             D                    G
My senses have been stripped, my hands can't feel the grip,
                            Em
my toes too numb to step, wait only for my boot heels
          A
to be wandering
               G            A  D     G  D   G
I'm ready to go anywhere, I'm ready for to fade
             D                G      Em       A
Into my own parade cast your dancing spell my way,
  D          G   Em    A
I promise to go under it

Chorus

                      G         A           D                      G
Though you might hear laughin' spinnin' swingin' madly across the sun
            D       G                D             G
It's not aimed at anyone, it's just escapin' on the run
Em                           
And but for the sky there are no fences facin'
A
And if you hear vague traces of skippin' reels of rhyme
         G           A             D          G     D     G
To your tambourine in time, it's just a ragged clown behind
     D                   G                Em    A
I wouldn't pay it any mind, it's just a shadow you're
D         G  Em    A
seein' that he's chasing

Chorus

             G                      A                D   G
Then take me dissapearin' through the smoke rings of my mind
          D                     G            D       G
Down the foggy ruins of time, far past the frozen leaves
Em
The haunted, frightended trees out to the windy beach
A
Far from the twisted reach of crazy sorrow
G              A             D             G         D       G
Yes, to dance beneath the diamond sky with one hand wavin' free
   D                      G             Em      A
Silhouetted by the sea, circled by the circus sands
D                            G       Em           A
With all memory and fate drive deep beneath the waves
          D           G     Em     A
Let me forget about today until tomorrow
