[Verse 1]
C A#
Early one morning the sun was shinin'
C A#
He was layin' in bed
C A#
Wond'rin' if she'd changed at all
F
If her hair was still red
C A#
Her folks they said their lives together
C A#
Sure was gonna be rough
C A#
They never did like Mama's homemade dress,
F
Papa's bankbook wasn't big enough
G Am
And he was standin' at the side of the road
C F
Rain fallin' on his shoes
G Am
Heading out for the old East Coast
C F G
Lord knows he paid some dues, gettin' through
A# F C Csus4 C Csus4 C Csus4 C Csus4
Tangled up in blue.
[Verse 2]
C A#
She was married when they first met
C A#
Soon to be divorced
C A#
He helped her out of a jam I guess
F
But he used a little too much force
C A#
And he drove that car as far as he could
C A#
Abandoned it out west
C A#
And they split up on a dark sad night
F
Both agreeing it was best
G Am
And she turned around to look at him
C F
As he was walkin' away
G Am
And she said "This can't be the end
C F G
We'll meet again some day, on the avenue,
A# F C Csus4 C Csus4 C Csus4 C Csus4
Tangled up in blue."
[Verse 3]
C A#
He had a job in the great north woods
C A#
Working as a cook for a spell
C A#
But he never did like it all that much
F
And one day the axe just fell
C A#
So he drifted down to New Orleans
C A#
Where he was lucky enough to be employed
C A#
Workin' for a-while on a fishin' boat
F
Right outside of Delacroix
G Am
But all the while he was alone
C F
The past was close behind
G Am
He seen a lot of women
C F G
But she never escaped his mind and he just grew
A# F C Csus4 C Csus4 C Csus4 C Csus4
Tangled up in blue.
[Verse 4]
C A#
She was workin' in a topless place
C A#
And I stopped in for a beer
C A#
I just kept lookin' at the side of her face
F
In a spotlight so clear
C A#
And later on as the crowd thinned out
C A#
I's about to do the same
C A#
She was standing there in back of my chair
F
Sayin' "Tell me what's your name?"
G Am
I muttered something underneath my breath
C F
She studied the lines on my face
G Am
I must admit I felt a little uneasy
C F G
When she bent down to tie the laces of my shoes
A# F C Csus4 C Csus4 C Csus4 C Csus4
Tangled up in blue.
[Verse 5]
C A#
She lit a burner on the stove
C A#
And offered me a pipe
C A#
"Thought you'd never say hello", she said
F
"You look like the quiet type"
C A#
And she opened up a book of poems
C A#
And handed it to me
C A#
Written by an Italian poet
F
From the thirteenth century
G Am
And every one of them words rang true
C F
And glowed like burning coal
G Am
Pouring off of every page
C F G
Like it was written in my soul from me to you
A# F C Csus4 C Csus4 C Csus4 C Csus4
Tangled up in blue.
[Verse 6]
C A#
He was always in a hurry
C A#
Too busy or too stoned
C A#
And everything she ever planned
F
Just had to be postponed
C A#
She thought they were successful
C A#
He thought they were blessed
C Bmaj7
With objects and material things
F
But I never was impressed
G Am
And when it all came crashing down
C F
I became withdrawn
G Am
The only thing I knew how to do
C F G
Was to keep on keeping on like a bird that flew
A# F C Csus4 C Csus4 C Csus4 C Csus4
Tangled up in blue.
[Verse 7]
C A#
So now I'm going back again
C A#
Got to get to her somehow
C A#
All the people we used to know
F
They're an illusion to me now
C A#
Some are mathematicians
C A#
Some are carpenters' wives
C A#
Don't know how it all got started
F
Don't know what they're doin' with their lives
G Am
But me, I'm still on the road
C F
Heading for another joint
G Am
We always did feel the same
C F G
We just saw from a different point of view
A# F C Csus4 C Csus4 C Csus4 C Csus4
Tangled up in blue.
