[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 following you
[Verse 1]
Though I know that evening's empire has returned into sand
Vanished from my hands
Left me blindly here to stand, but still not sleeping
Oh, my weariness amazes me, I'm branded on my feet
I have no one to meet
At these ancient empty streets, 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 following you
[Verse 2]
Oh, take me on a trip upon your magic swirlin' ship
My senses have been stripped, my toes too numb to step
Waitin' only for my boot heels to be wandering
Oh, I'm ready to go anywhere, I'm ready for to fade
Into my own parade, cast your dancing spell my way
I'm ready to go under it
[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 following you
[Verse 3]
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
It's just a shadow that 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 following you
In the jingle jangle mornin' I'll come following you
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 following you
[Verse 1]
Though I know that evening's empire has returned into sand
Vanished from my hands
Left me blindly here to stand, but still not sleeping
Oh, my weariness amazes me, I'm branded on my feet
I have no one to meet
At these ancient empty streets, 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 following you
[Verse 2]
Oh, take me on a trip upon your magic swirlin' ship
My senses have been stripped, my toes too numb to step
Waitin' only for my boot heels to be wandering
Oh, I'm ready to go anywhere, I'm ready for to fade
Into my own parade, cast your dancing spell my way
I'm ready to go under it
[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

Hey, Mr. Tambourine Man, play a song for me

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