[Verse 1]
E D6
Early one mornin' the sun was shinin',
E D6
I was layin' in bed
E D6
Wond'rin' if she'd changed at all
A
If her hair was still red.
E D6
Her folks they said our lives together
E D6
Sure was gonna be rough
E D6
They never did like Mama's homemade dress
A
Papa's bankbook wasn't big enough.
B C#m
And I was standin' on the side of the road
E A
Rain fallin' on my shoes
B C#m
Heading out for the East Coast
E A B
Lord knows I've paid some dues gettin' through,
D A E Esus E Esus
Tangled up in blue.
[Verse 2]
E D6
She was married when we first met
E D6
Soon to be divorced
E D6
I helped her out of a jam, I guess,
A
But I used a little too much force.
E D6
We drove that car as far as we could
E D6
Abandoned it out West
E D6
Split up on a dark sad night
A
Both agreeing it was best.
B C#m
She turned around to look at me
E A
As I was walkin' away
B C#m
I heard her say over my shoulder,
E A B
"We'll meet again someday on the avenue,"
D A E Esus E Esus
Tangled up in blue.
[Verse 3]
E D6
I had a job in the great north woods
E D6
Working as a cook for a spell
E D6
But I never did like it all that much
A
And one day the ax just fell.
E D6
So I drifted down to New Orleans
E D6
Where I happened to be employed
E D6
Workin' for a while on a fishin' boat
A
Right outside of Delacroix.
B C#m
But all the while I was alone
E A
The past was close behind,
B C#m
I seen a lot of women
E A B
But she never escaped my mind, and I just grew
D A E Esus E Esus
Tangled up in blue.
[Verse 4]
E D6
She was workin' in a topless place
E D6
And I stopped in for a beer,
E D6
I just kept lookin' at the side of her face
A
In the spotlight so clear.
E D6
And later on as the crowd thinned out
E D6
I's just about to do the same,
E D6
She was standing there in back of my chair
A
Said to me, "Don't I know your name?"
B C#m
I muttered somethin' underneath my breath,
E A
She studied the lines on my face.
B C#m
I must admit I felt a little uneasy
E A B
When she bent down to tie the laces of my shoe,
D A E Esus E Esus
Tangled up in blue.
[Verse 5]
E D6
She lit a burner on the stove
E D6
and offered me a pipe
E D6
"I thought you'd never say hello," she said
A
"You look like the silent type."
E D6
Then she opened up a book of poems
E D6
And handed it to me
E D6
Written by an Italian poet
A
From the thirteenth century.
B C#m
And every one of them words rang true
E A
And glowed like burnin' coal
B C#m
Pourin' off of every page
E A B
Like it was written in my soul from me to you,
D A E Esus E Esus
Tangled up in blue.
[Verse 6]
E D6
I lived with them on Montague Street
E D6
In a basement down the stairs,
E D6
There was music in the cafes at night
A
And revolution in the air.
E D6
Then he started into dealing with slaves
E D6
And something inside of him died.
E D6
She had to sell everything she owned
A
And froze up inside.
B C#m
And when finally the bottom fell out
E A
I became withdrawn,
B C#m
The only thing I knew how to do
E A B
Was to keep on keepin' on like a bird that flew,
D A E Esus E Esus
Tangled up in blue.
[Verse 7]
E D6
So now I'm goin' back again,
E D6
I got to get to her somehow.
E D6
All the people we used to know
A
They're an illusion to me now.
E D6
Some are mathematicians
E D6
Some are carpenter's wives.
E D6
Don't know how it all got started,
A
I don't know what they're doin' with their lives.
B C#m
But me, I'm still on the road
E A
Headin' for another joint
B C#m
We always did feel the same,
E A B
We just saw it from a different point of view,
D A E Esus E Esus
Tangled up in blue.
