Mr. Tambourine Man (Bob Dylan)                        It's just a ragged clown behind, and if to you    
                                                      he looks blind, It's just a shadow you're seeing  
[chorus]:                                             that he's chasing.                                
    Hey, Mr. Tambourine Man play a song                                                                 
    for me, I'm not sleepy and there ain't            [chorus]                                          
    no place I'm going to. Hey, Mr.                                                                     
    Tambourine Man play a song for me, In             Take me disappearing through the smoke rings of   
    the jingle-jangle morning I'll come               my mind, Down the foggy ruins of time, far past   
    following you.                                    the frozen leaves, The haunted, frightened        
                                                      trees, out to the windy beach, Far from the       
Though I know that evenin's empire has returned       twisted reach of crazy sorrow. Yes, to dance      
into sand. Vanished from my hand, left me             beneath the diamond sky with one hand waving      
blindly here to stand, but still not sleeping.        free, Silhouetted by the sea, circled by the      
My weariness amazes me, I am branded on my feet,      circus sands, Driving memory and fate deep        
I have not one to meet, and the ancient empty         beneath the waves. Let me forget about today      
street's too dead for dreaming.                       until tomorrow.                                   
                                                                                                        
[chorus]                                              [chorus]                                          
                                                                                                        
Take me on a trip upon your magic swirling ship,      Hey, Mr. Tambourine Man play a song for me, I'm   
My senses have been stripped, my hands can't          not sleepy and there ain't no place I'm going     
feel to grip, My toes too numb to step, wait          to. Hey, Mr. Tambourine Man play a song for me,   
only for my boot heels to be wandering. I am          In the jingle-jangle morning I'll come following  
ready to go anywhere, I am ready for to fade          you.                                              
Into my own parade. Cast your dancing spell my                                                          
way, I promise to go under it.                                                                          
                                                                                                        
[chorus]                                                                                                
                                                                                                        
Though you might hear laughing spinning swinging                                                        
madly through 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, I wouldn't pay it any mind,
