A Gsus2
Early one mornin’ the sun was shinin’
A Gsus2
I was layin’ in bed
A Gsus2
Wond’rin’ if she’d changed at all
D
If her hair was still red
A Gsus2
Her folks they said our lives together
A Gsus2
Sure was gonna be rough
A Gsus2
They never did like Mama’s homemade dress
D
Papa’s bankbook wasn’t big enough
E F#m
And I was standin’ on the side of the road
A D
Rain fallin’ on my shoes
E F#m
Heading out for the East Coast
A D E
Lord knows I’ve paid some dues gettin’ through
G D A
Tangled up in blue

A Gsus2
She was married when we first met
A Gsus2
Soon to be divorced
A Gsus2
I helped her out of a jam, I guess
D
But I used a little too much force
A Gsus2
We drove that car as far as we could
A Gsus2
Abandoned it out West
A Gsus2
Split up on a dark sad night
D
Both agreeing it was best
E F#m
She turned around to look at me
A D
As I was walkin’ away
E F#m
I heard her say over my shoulder
A D E
“We’ll meet again someday on the avenue”
G D A
Tangled up in blue

[Verse]
A Gsus2
I had a job in the great north woods
A Gsus2
Working as a cook for a spell
A Gsus2
But I never did like it all that much
D
And one day the ax just fell
A Gsus2
So I drifted down to New Orleans
A Gsus2
Where I happened to be employed
A Gsus2
Workin’ for a while on a fishin’ boat
D
Right outside of Delacroix
E F#m
But all the while I was alone
A D
The past was close behind
E F#m
I seen a lot of women
A D E
But she never escaped my mind, and I just grew
G D A

[Verse]
A Gsus2
She was workin’ in a topless place
A Gsus2
And I stopped in for a beer
A Gsus2
I just kept lookin’ at the side of her face
D
In the spotlight so clear
A Gsus2
And later on when the crowd thinned out
A Gsus2
I’s just about to do the same
A Gsus2
She was standing there in back of my chair
D
Said to me, “Don’t I know your name?”
E F#m
I muttered somethin’ underneath my breath
A D
She studied the lines on my face
E F#m
I must admit I felt a little uneasy
A D E
When she bent down to tie the laces of my shoe
G D A
Tangled up in blue

[Verse]
A Gsus2
She lit a burner on the stove
A Gsus2
And offered me a pipe
A Gsus2
“I thought you’d never say hello,” she said
D
“You look like the silent type”
A Gsus2
Then she opened up a book of poems
A Gsus2
And handed it to me
A Gsus2
Written by an Italian poet
D
From the thirteenth century
E F#m
And every one of them words rang true
A D
And glowed like burnin’ coal
E F#m
Pourin’ off of every page
A D E
Like it was written in my soul from me to you
G D A

[Verse]
A Gsus2
I lived with them on Montague Street
A Gsus2
In a basement down the stairs
A Gsus2
There was music in the cafés at night
D
And revolution in the air
A Gsus2
Then he started into dealing with slaves
A Gsus2
And something inside of him died
A Gsus2
She had to sell everything she owned
D
And froze up inside
E F#m
And when finally the bottom fell out
A D
I became withdrawn
E F#m
The only thing I knew how to do
A D E
Was to keep on keepin’ on like a bird that flew
G D A
Tangled up in blue
[Interlude]

[Verse]
A Gsus2
So now I’m goin’ back again
A Gsus2
I got to get to her somehow
A Gsus2
All the people we used to know
D
They’re an illusion to me now
A Gsus2
Some are mathematicians
A Gsus2
Some are carpenters’ wives
A Gsus2
Don’t know how it all got started
D
I don’t know what they’re doin’ with their lives
E F#m
But me, I’m still on the road
A D
Headin’ for another joint
E F#m
We always did feel the same
A D E
We just saw it from a different point of view
G D A
Tangled up in blue
