Mr Tambourine Man


Written by Bob Dylan. This is legend, Stevie Wonder's version. Like Glen Campbell, Stevie Wonder recorded a version of 'Mr. Tambourine Man' sounding exactly like The Byrds' version except Stevie Wonder uses words, Glen Campbell doesn't. 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 Enjoy!
