8 Mr. Tambourine Man Dropped D tuning (D-A-d-g-b-e') Capo 3nd fret Chords: D Dsus Dsus G A x02220 or Asus4 x02230 or Asus2 x02200 or Em : D D Dsus2 D : G A D G D G A Asus4 A I'm not sleepy and there is no place I'm going to. G A D G D G A D Dsus4 D Dsus2 D In the jingle jangle morning I'll come followin' you. Made by: 8

9 G A D G Though I know that evenin's empire has returned into sand, D G Vanished from my hand, D G A Left me blindly here to stand but still not sleeping. G A D G My weariness amazes me, I'm branded on my feet, D G I have no one to meet D G A And the ancient empty street's too dead for dreaming. I'm not sleepy and there is no place I'm going to. In the jingle jangle morning I'll come followin' you. 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 To be wanderin'. 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 under it. Made by: 9

10 I'm not sleepy and there is no place I'm going to. In the jingle jangle morning I'll come followin' you. Though you might hear laughin', spinnin', swingin' madly across the sun, It's not aimed at anyone, it's just escapin' on the run And but for the sky there are no fences facin'. And if you hear vague traces of skippin' 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 Seein' that he's chasing. I'm not sleepy and there is no place I'm going to. In the jingle jangle morning I'll come followin' you. Then take me disappearin' 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, Made by: 10

11 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. I'm not sleepy and there is no place I'm going to. In the jingle jangle morning I'll come followin' you. Made by: 11

12 Mississippi Intro (actually played one octave higher): C /d /e /f G C :... : C Csus4 C Csus4 Every step of the way, we walk the line. C Csus4 C F Your days are numbered, so are mine. C F C F Time is piling up, we struggle and we scrape. C /d /e /f G C We're all boxed in, nowhere to escape. City's just a jungle, more games to play. Trapped in the heart of it, trying to get away. I was raised in the country, I been working in the town. I been in trouble ever since I set my suitcase down. Made by: 12

13 G /a /b /c Got nothing for you, I had nothing before /d /e F G Don't even have anything for myself anymore G /a /b /c Sky full of fire, pain pouring down /d /e F G Nothing you can sell me, I'll see you around. All my powers of expression, I thought so sublime, Could never do you justice in reason or rhyme Only one thing I did wrong, Stayed in Mississippi a day too long Well, the devil's in the alley, mule's in the stall Say anything you want to, I have heard it all I was thinking about the things that Rosie said I was dreaming I was sleeping in Rosie's bed Walking through the leaves falling from the trees Feeling like a stranger nobody sees. So many things that we never will undo I know you're sorry, I'm sorry too. Some people will offer you their hand and some won't Last night I knew you, tonight I don't I need something strong to distract my mind Made by: 13

14 I'm gonna look at you 'til my eyes go blind Well, I got here following the southern star I crossed that river just to be where you are Only one thing I did wrong Stayed in Mississippi a day too long. Well, my ship's been split to splinters and it's sinking fast. I'm drowning in the poison, got no future, got no past. But my heart is not weary, it's light and it's free. I got nothing but affection for those who've sailed with me. Everybody moving, if they ain't already there. Everybody got to move somewhere Stick with me baby, stick with me anyhow, Things should start to get interesting right about now My clothes are wet, tight on my skin Not as tight as the corner that I painted myself in I know that fortune is waiting to be kind So give me your hand and say you'll be mine *) Now the emptiness is endless, cold as the clay You can always come back, but you can't come back all the way Only one thing I did wrong Stayed in Mississippi a day too long Made by: 14

16 The answer is blowin' in the wind. How many years can a mountain exist Before it's washed to the sea? Yes, 'n' how many years can some people exist Before they're allowed to be free? Yes, 'n' how many times can a man turn his head, Pretending he just doesn't see? The answer, my friend, is blowin' in the wind, The answer is blowin' in the wind. How many times must a man look up Before he can see the sky? Yes, 'n' how many ears must one man have Before he can hear people cry? Yes, 'n' how many deaths will it take till he knows That too many people have died? The answer, my friend, is blowin' in the wind, The answer is blowin' in the wind. Made by: 16
