Chords for Byrds Mr Tamborine Man / Sound of Silence / Roger McGuinn

[N] do a solo folk act right here in Folk City. _ _
You should have been there when the time was right for the music [C] to begin.
_ _ _ [Am] You should have been there when [C] that band of [D] gypsies started [G] rolling in. _ _
_ You should have seen it, you'd have swore for sure the circus came to [C] town.
_ _ [Am] There were ladies riding their bike [C] and the mystery [D] man all painted [G] like a clown. _
_ Should have seen October feeling like I never felt [C] before.
_ _ [Am] Flashing up New England [C] skies like the fires of [D] the [G] Revolutionary War.
_ Oh you should have heard the music coming down like the hardest rain that ever [C] fell. _ _ _
[Am] Waking up in the afternoon [C] with a hundred [D] lovers feeding in [G] the same motel.
Take [D] me away, take [C] me away, _ [G] take me away. _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
[Gm] Yeah I wish I was there.
[G] _ _ Oh that's a great song and I feel beyond honored to be here and hear you play.
[Bb] You grew up in Chicago and that's where you first got influenced by him.
Why did you ever decide to move to LA from New [Ab] York?
_ Well first [C] of all I'll tell you why I moved to New York from [Bb] Chicago.
That's a good idea, why don't you do that?
Because the folk scene in Chicago [D] was sort of like a step down version of the one that
I'd heard about in the village and the village was like the best place to go and so I moved
[B] here and I was working with a folk group at the time and I used to hang out at all
the [Bb] clubs you know at the Gaslight [A] and at the Bitter End and at Folk City and [Bb] I played
a lot of hootenannies [Am] and I played some coffee houses around [Bb] here and [Abm] then things were kind
of sparse [B] for me and I got an offer to play a club out in [Ab] LA called the Troubadour.
[A] In that audience [Ab] you said there was somebody really special.
[D]
Well somebody who turned out to [Bb] be special in my career in my life.
Gene [B] Clark was out there and he had just [C] come from being with the [A] New Christy Minstrels
and he was off on his [Bb] own and he wanted to write some [A] songs with me.
He said he liked what I was doing so we got [Bb] together and we wrote a couple of songs and
we were sitting in the front room of the Troubadour which was just like a coffee house with little
tables and chairs [C] playing these songs and one of the guys who worked there said [Eb] that
sounds pretty good but I think you need a third part [E] harmony [Bb] and just at that [D] moment
David Crosby [G] walked in the door and he came [D] over and started singing harmony with us
and it just clicked it sounded [Em] great.

[G] _ _ [Ab] Dylan [E] emerged as the leader of this new folk music.
Now some [D] people called him a prophet some people called him a [Am] poet
but one thing was for sure [A] he knew how to write [Db] a universal melody
[C] and his lyrics spoke to an entirely new generation of [D] music listeners.
_ _ _ [G] _ _
_ _ [Am] _ _ _ [G] _ _ _
_ _ All of a sudden everybody was covering Dylan tunes.
[B] It seemed like a [D] surefire way to have a hit.
[E]
We'll hear that first folk rock song right after this message.

_ [A] _ _ In [D] 1965 [Gb] Bob Dylan.
1964 two guys named Tom and Jerry and [Db] I'm not talking about [Gb] the cartoon characters
recorded an album for CBS but it got [Fm] shelved.
It seemed that the folky [Cm] sound was on the way out groups like [E] the birds and the turtles
the young bloods and the [Cm] Jefferson airplane were really what was happening then.
[Dm]
Well Tom and Jerry thought their big chance was over but their [Db] producer a year [B] later decided to experiment.
[Bb] He took the [A] acoustic tracks and overdubbed electric instruments [Db] and sure enough it worked out.
They released a single but this [Ab] time with their real name Art Garfunkel and Paul Simon
and it was called the sounds of silence.
Hello darkness my [Db] old friend _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ [Ab] _
_ _ _ [Ebm] The walls of the dream [B] softly _ [Gb] creaking
_ Left its seeds while [B] I was [Gb] sleeping _ _
I'm gonna [Abm] try
_ [B] I was _ _
_ _ _ [Gb] bluffing
[Ebm] _ Still breathing
_ _ _ [Gb] Within [Db] the sound _ [Ebm] of silence _
_ In restless dreams I walk [Db] through _ _ _ _ _ narrow streets of [Ebm]
coast
_ _ _ _ Move [Gb] by the call [B] of a [Gb] street light
_ I turn my _ _ [B] _ _ [Gb] _ _ _
way [B] my eyes _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ [Gb] _ _ [B] _
