C D G C
Hey! Mr. Tambourine Man, play a song for me
G C D
In the jingle jangle morning I'll come following you
C D G C
Take me disappearing down the smoke rings of my mind
G C
Through the foggy ruins of time
G C
Down past the frightened leaves
G C
And the lifeless, frozen trees
G C
Way down to the windy beach
G C D
Far from the twisted reach of crazy sorrow
C D
I wanna dance beneath the diamond sky
G C
With one hand waving free
G C
Silhouetted by the sea
G C
With all memory and fate
G C
Driven deep beneath the waves
G C D
Please let me forget about today until tomorrow

CAPO: 2nd Fret
INTRO: C G D G D
When I was just a little girl
G D
Full of health and joy
C G
One Christmas morning I received
A7 D
A marvellous little toy
G D
A wonder to behold it was
G C
With many colours bright
G
And the moment I laid eyes on it
A7 D
It became my heart's delight
CHORUS:
G
It went "Zip" when it moved
D
"Pop" when it stopped
G C
"Whirr" when it stood still
G
I never knew just what it was
D G C G D G
And I guess I never will
D
The first time that I picked it up
G D
I had a big surprise
C G
'Cause right on the bottom were two big buttons
A7 D
That looked like big green eyes
G D
I first pushed one and then the other
G C
And then I pushed its lid
G
And when I set it down again
A7 D
This is what it did:
CHORUS:
G
It went "Zip" when it moved
D
"Pop" when it stopped
G C
"Whirr" when it stood still
G
I never knew just what it was
D G C G D G
And I guess I never will
D
It first marched left, and then marched right
G D
And then went under a chair
C G
And when I looked where it had gone
A7 D
It wasn't even there
G D
I started to cry, my daddy laughed
G C
He knew that I would find
G
When I turned around my marvellous toy
A7 D
A-chugging from behind
CHORUS:
G
It went "Zip" when it moved
D
"Pop" when it stopped
G C
"Whirr" when it stood still
G
I never knew just what it was
D G C G D G
And I guess I never will

D G D C G A7 D G D G C G A7 G D
The years have gone by too quickly it seems
G D
I have my own little boy
C G
And yesterday I gave to him
A7 D
My marvellous little toy
G D
His eyes nearly popped right out of his head
G C
He gave a squeal of glee
G
And neither one of us knows just what it is
A7 D
But he loves it just like me

G D
Love is both high and low
Em D C
On one level, it's the feel of it all

On the other, it's dreams and it's truth, yeah
D G
On the other, it's clean and it's blue, but...

Tonight I'm not thinking of higher things
Bm C
I'm thinking about the boy who just walked in
D C
How I'd like to feel good again

When I'm far away from you
CHORUS:

So, tell me what to do, right about now

I'm in love with you, right about now
