[A]
When I moved to the village in 1963, I had already been making records for two years,
[D] and I wound [A] up living downtown on West 10th and [E] Hudson and [A] hanging out with all the singers
that were there in that time.
[D] Dylan had started singing and [E] writing and recording, and Eric [D] Anderson was there.
[E] Tom Paxson used to [A] come down the street and say, you know, I just wrote this song, bottle
[D] of wine, fruit on [A] the vine, when [E] you're gonna let me [D] get [E] sober, would you like to [Dbm] record it?
[A] And so I would do that, and I met so many wonderful singers and songwriters.
I didn't write songs at [E] the time [D] myself, [E] so I was collecting [A] songs and looking for singers [Gbm] and songwriters.
[D] And one night I got [Dbm] a phone call [D] from my friend Al Cooper, [A] and that was how I met Joni Mitchell.
[D] I hadn't known her at all.
[E] She was a newcomer on the scene [A] and trying to get a [D] job and trying to get her [A] songs sung.
And [E] at three in the morning he put her [D] on the phone [E] and she sang me Both Sides [A] Now,
and for me, and for her, I guess, that was how it all began.
[Ab]
One [Ebm] day [Ab] I was invited up to [Ebm] Woodstock to [Ab] go to [Ebm] the [Ab] home of my [Ebm] friend, and there was [Ab] a
little party there and [Ebm] Dylan was there.
[Ab] He was with [Ebm] Susie Rodolo at that point, [Ab] just kind of not quite with Joan, [Ebm] but getting [Ab] there.
[Ebm] And we had a party, [Ab] and everybody had a [Ebm] lovely time, and I went to [Ab] sleep and woke up about
three in the morning, and I heard a voice coming up the steps, and it was,
[Db] [Ab] Ooooooo
[Db]
[Ab] [Db] And [Ab] so I crept out of bed and went down the steps in my little Terry Closs nightgown and
sat outside this closed door.
It was blue and it was [F] in the basement really and I
[Ab] sat outside that door and I listened for about two hours while Dylan wrote this song.
[Db]
[Ab] [Db]
[Ab] [Db]
[Ab] [Db]
[Bbm] My weariness amazes [Ab] me, I'm branded [Db] on my back.
[Ab] I have no [Db] one to meet, [Ab] and the ancient empty [Db] streets [Ab] too dead for dreaming.
[Eb] [Bbm]
Hey Mr.
[Eb] [Bbm] Tambourine [Ab] Man, play a song [Db] for me.
[Ab] I'm not sleepy [Db] and there is no place I'm going.
[Eb] [Bbm]
Hey Mr.
Tambourine [Ab] Man, play a [Db] song for me.
[Ab] In the jingle jangle [Db] morning I'll [Eb]
[Ab]
[Db] take me [Eb] on a trip upon [Ab] your magic [Db] swirling ship.
[Ab] My senses have [Db] been stripped, [Ab] my toes too [Db] numb to step.
[Ab] Wait only for [Db] my [Bbm] boot heels to be [Db] wandering.
[Ab]
[Eb] [Db] I'm ready to [Eb] go anywhere, [Ab] I'm ready for [Db] to fade [Ab] into my own [Db] parade.
[Ab] Cast your dance and [Db] spell my way, [Bbm] I promise [Db] to go under [Ab] it.
[Eb] [Db]
Hey [Eb] Mr.
Tambourine [Ab] Man, play a song [Db] for me.
[Ab] I'm not sleepy [Db] and there is no [Ab] place I'm going.
[Eb] Hey [Db]
Mr.
[Eb] Tambourine [Ab] Man, play a song [Db] for me.
In [Ab] the jingle [Db] jangle morning [Bbm] I'll [Eb] come.
[Ab]
[Db] Then take me [F]
[Bbm] disappearing through [Ab] the smoke rings of [Db] my mind.
[Ab] Down the foggy [Db] ruins of time, [Ab] far past the [Db] frozen leaves, [Ab] the haunted [Db] twisted trees.
[Ab] Out to the [Db] windy beach, [Ab] far from the [Db] crazy reach of twisted [Ab] [Eb] sorrow.
[Ab] [Db] Yes, to dance [Eb] beneath the diamond [Db] [Ab] skies with one hand [Db] waving free.
[Ab] Silhouetted by [Db] the sea, [Ab] circled by the [Db] circus sands.
[Ab] With all memory [Db] and fate, [Ab] driven deep beneath [Db] the waves.
[Ab] Let me forget about [Db] today [Bbm] until [Ab] tomorrow.
[Eb]
[Db] Hey Mr.
[Eb]
Tambourine [Ab] Man, play a song [Db] for me.
[Ab] I'm not sleepy and [Db] there is no place [Eb] I'm going to.
[Db] Hey Mr.
[Eb]
Tambourine [Ab] Man, play a song [Db] for me.
In [Ab] the jingle jangle [Db] morning I'll [Eb] come.
