Somebody Shot the Tambourine Man

Somebody shot the tambourine man

Everyone looked the other way

Somebody shot the tambourine man

And the killer got away

He was playing on the corner

Spreading peace and love around

An angry young man with a gun in his hand

Took tambourine man down

Somebody shot the tambourine man

Everyone looked the other way

Somebody shot the tambourine man

And the killer got away

The people there took their phones out

But no one stepped in to help

They were too busy getting hits and likes

Wrapped up in themselves

Somebody shot the tambourine man

Everyone looked the other way

Somebody shot the tambourine man

And the killer got away

The police asked for a witness

But nobody saw a thing

They were too afraid of retaliation to do the right thing

So nobody was arrested

There never was a trial

But everyone there is guilty

Sometimes karma takes awhile

Somebody shot the tambourine man

Everyone looked the other way

Somebody shot the tambourine man

And the killer got away

Sometimes I hear the music

As my day is about to start

And I’m grateful to begin the day

With peace and love in my heart

Somebody shot the tambourine man

Everyone looked the other way

Somebody shot the tambourine man

And the killer got away

Somebody shot the tambourine man

But the music is here to stay

Somebody shot the tambourine man

But they couldn't take the songs away, hey!

Listen to the music

Sweet, sweet music

Somebody shot the tambourine man

Somebody shot the tambourine man

Somebody shot the tambourine man

But the music is here to stay

Somebody shot the tambourine man

Somebody shot the tambourine man

Somebody shot the tambourine man

But they couldn't take the songs away

Somebody shot the tambourine man

Somebody shot the tambourine man

Somebody shot the tambourine man

But the music is here to stay
