[Verse 1]
B A6
Early one mornin' the sun was shinin',
B A6
I was layin' in bed
B A6
Wond'rin' if she'd changed at all
E
If her hair was still red.
B A6
Her folks they said our lives together
B A6
Sure was gonna be rough
B A6
They never did like Mama's homemade dress
E
Papa's bankbook wasn't big enough.
F# G#m
And I was standin' on the side of the road
B E
Rain fallin' on my shoes
F# G#m
Heading out for the East Coast
B E F#
Lord knows I've paid some dues gettin' through,
A E B Bsus B Bsus
Tangled up in blue.
[Verse 2]
B A6
She was married when we first met
B A6
Soon to be divorced
B A6
I helped her out of a jam, I guess,
E
But I used a little too much force.
B A6
We drove that car as far as we could
B A6
Abandoned it out West
B A6
Split up on a dark sad night
E
Both agreeing it was best.
F# G#m
She turned around to look at me
B E
As I was walkin' away
F# G#m
I heard her say over my shoulder,
B E F#
"We'll meet again someday on the avenue,"
A E B Bsus B Bsus
Tangled up in blue.
[Verse 3]
B A6
I had a job in the great north woods
B A6
Working as a cook for a spell
B A6
But I never did like it all that much
E
And one day the ax just fell.
B A6
So I drifted down to New Orleans
B A6
Where I happened to be employed
B A6
Workin' for a while on a fishin' boat
E
Right outside of Delacroix.
F# G#m
But all the while I was alone
B E
The past was close behind,
F# G#m
I seen a lot of women
B E F#
But she never escaped my mind, and I just grew
A E B Bsus B Bsus
Tangled up in blue.
[Verse 4]
B A6
She was workin' in a topless place
B A6
And I stopped in for a beer,
B A6
I just kept lookin' at the side of her face
E
In the spotlight so clear.
B A6
And later on as the crowd thinned out
B A6
I's just about to do the same,
B A6
She was standing there in back of my chair
E
Said to me, "Don't I know your name?"
F# G#m
I muttered somethin' underneath my breath,
B E
She studied the lines on my face.
F# G#m
I must admit I felt a little uneasy
B E F#
When she bent down to tie the laces of my shoe,
A E B Bsus B Bsus
Tangled up in blue.
[Verse 5]
B A6
She lit a burner on the stove
B A6
and offered me a pipe
B A6
"I thought you'd never say hello," she said
E
"You look like the silent type."
B A6
Then she opened up a book of poems
B A6
And handed it to me
B A6
Written by an Italian poet
E
From the thirteenth century.
F# G#m
And every one of them words rang true
B E
And glowed like burnin' coal
F# G#m
Pourin' off of every page
B E F#
Like it was written in my soul from me to you,
A E B Bsus B Bsus
Tangled up in blue.
[Verse 6]
B A6
I lived with them on Montague Street
B A6
In a basement down the stairs,
B A6
There was music in the cafes at night
E
And revolution in the air.
B A6
Then he started into dealing with slaves
B A6
And something inside of him died.
B A6
She had to sell everything she owned
E
And froze up inside.
F# G#m
And when finally the bottom fell out
B E
I became withdrawn,
F# G#m
The only thing I knew how to do
B E F#
Was to keep on keepin' on like a bird that flew,
A E B Bsus B Bsus
Tangled up in blue.
[Verse 7]
B A6
So now I'm goin' back again,
B A6
I got to get to her somehow.
B A6
All the people we used to know
E
They're an illusion to me now.
B A6
Some are mathematicians
B A6
Some are carpenter's wives.
B A6
Don't know how it all got started,
E
I don't know what they're doin' with their lives.
F# G#m
But me, I'm still on the road
B E
Headin' for another joint
F# G#m
We always did feel the same,
B E F#
We just saw it from a different point of view,
A E B Bsus B Bsus
Tangled up in blue.
