intro – 12-string lick

chorus
Hey! Mr Tambourine Man, play a song for me,
I’m not sleepy and there ain’t no place I’m going to.
Hey! Mr Tambourine Man, play a song for me,
In the jingle-jangle morning I’ll come following you.

verse
Take me on a trip upon your magic swirling 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 wandering.
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.

chorus and outro
Hey! Mr Tambourine Man, play a song for me,
I’m not sleepy and there ain’t no place I’m going to.
Hey! Mr Tambourine Man, play a song for me,
In the jingle-jangle morning I’ll come following you.

intro – bass and piano run

verse 1
You’ve done it all, you’ve broken every code
And pulled the Rebel to the floor.
                        (ba-ba-ba-ba ba-ba-ba-ba, etc)
You’ve spoilt the game, no matter what you say,
For only metal, what a bore.
Blue eyes, blue eyes, how can you tell so many lies?
(oo-oo-oo-oo-ooh la-la-la, oo-oo-oo-oo-ooh la-la-la ooo – aah)

chorus
Come up and see me, make me smi-i-i-ile.
I’ll do what you want, running wi-i-i-ild. (2-3-4-1)

verse 2
There’s nothing left, all gone and run away,
Maybe you’ll tarry for a while?
                     (ba-ba-ba-ba ba-ba-ba-ba, etc)
It’s just a test, a game for us to play,
Win or lose, it’s hard to smile.
Resist, resist, it’s from yourself you have to hide.
(oo-oo-oo-oo-ooh la-la-la, oo-oo-oo-oo-ooh la-la-la ooo aah)

chorus
Come up and see me, make me smi-i-i-ile.
Come up and see me, make me smi-i-i-ile.
I’ll do what you want, running wi-i-i-ild.

instrumental (2 extra beats before start)

verse 3
There ain’t no more, you’ve taken everything
From my belief in Mother Earth.
                     (ba-ba-ba-ba ba-ba-ba-ba, etc)
Can you ignore my faith in everything?
‘Cos I know what faith is and what it’s worth.
  Away, away and don’t say maybe you’ll try… to
(oo-oo-oo-oo-ooh la-la-la, oo-oo-oo-oo-ooh la-la-la ooo aah)

chorus
Come up and see me, make me smi-i-i-ile.
Come up and see me, make me smi-i-i-ile.

I’ll do what you want, running wi-i-i-i-i-i-ild.

intro – 4 bars

verse 1
Wouldn’t it be nice to get on with me neighbours?
But they make it very clear they’ve got no room for ravers.
 They stop me from groovin’, they bang on me wall,
 They’re doing me crust in, it’s no good at all. Aaah!

chorus
Lazy Sunday afternoon-ah, I got no mind to worry.
I close my eyes and drift away.

verse 2
Here we all are sittin’ in a rainbow. (Colonel Bogey)
Gor blimey! Hello Mrs Jones, how’s old Bert’s lumbago? (mustn’t grumble)
 I’ll sing you a song with no words and no tune (tiddley-day)
 To sing in your party while you suss out the moon. (tiddley-day)

chorus
Lazy Sunday afternoon, I got no mind to worry.
Close my eyes and drift away…

verse 3
Root-de-doo-de-doo, root-de-doot-de die day,
Root-de doot de dum, root-de-doo-de-doo dee. (Satisfaction riff)
 There’s no one to hear me, there’s nothing to say,
 And no one can stop me from feelin’ this way.

chorus and outro
Lazy Sunday afternoon, I got no mind to worry.
Close my eyes and drift away…
Lazy Sunday afternoon, I got no mind to worry.
Close my eyes and drift a- Close my eyes and drift away.
Close my eyes and drift away.

verse 1
Take the last train to Clarksville,
And I’ll meet you at the station.

Don’t be slow. Oh, no, no, no! Oh, no, no, no!

verse 2
‘Cause I’m leavin’ in the morning
And I must see you again
We’ll have one more night together
‘Til the morning brings my train.
And I must go. Oh, no, no, no! Oh, no, no, no!
And I don’t know if I’m ever coming home. riff x 2

Take the last train to Clarksville,
I’ll be waiting at the station.

And a bit of conversation.
Oh. Oh, no, no, no! Oh, no, no, no!
