Mr. Tambourine Man
Intro
I went for a walk in the garden.
I met a man selling dreams.
For the bargain price of ten dollars.
He played his green tambourine.
Verse
I crossed bridges, climbed stairways
In marmalade skies.
I met Timothy Leary.
Ate pie in the sky.
Pre chorus
Told me my fortune.
He sold me a dream.
Oh Mr. magic man.
Play your tambourine.
Chorus
I値l dance to your song, I値l play along
For as long as I can.
Sing crimson and clover come over.
Mr. Tambourine man.
Verse
I crossed rivers in taxis
On marsh mellow clouds.
I saw farmer MacDonald
Milk chocolate cows.
Pre chorus
Told me my fortune.
He sold me a dream.
Oh Mr. magic man.
Play your tambourine.
Chorus
I値l dance to your song, I値l play along
For as long as I can.
Sing crimson and clover come over.
Mr. Tambourine man.
Bridge
I値l send you a postcard from heaven.
Hear it's lovely this time of the year.
If I waken before I get there.
I will shower the earth with my tears.

Hi CK,
I like it a lot but I think it's a bit out of date. I recognise all the allusions because I lived through them, LA fom late 60's to mid 70's, but many of today's listeners won't have a clue what you are talkin' about. to tell the truth, Many of them probably haven't heard any Dylan song.
