Yea, _ _ yea we gotta make sure it's right _ _ _ _ _ _ _

_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ Early one morning the sun was shining I was laying in [Ab] bed
[Bb] _ _ Wondering if she changed at all [Eb] If her hair was still red
[Bb] _ Her folks they [Ab] said our lives together [Bb] Sure was gonna be [Ab] rough
_ [Bb] They never did like [Fm] Mama's homemade dress [Eb] Papa's bankbook wasn't big enough
_ _ [F] I was [Gm] standing on the side of the _ [Bb] road, rain falling on [Eb] my shoes.
_ [F] Heading out [Gm] for the east coast, [Bb] Lord knows I paid [Eb] some dues.
[F] Getting through, _
_ _ _ _ [Ab] _ _ [Eb] tangled [Bb] up in blue. _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
She was married when we first met, _ soon to be [Ab] _ divorced. _
[Bb] I helped her out of a jam I guess, [Eb] but I used a little too much force.
_ [Bb]
We drove that car as [Ab] far as we could, [Bb] abandoned it [Fm] out west. _
[Bb] Split up on the dark sat night, [Eb] but the green it was best.
_ [F]
She turned [Gm] around to look at [Bb] me, I was walking [Eb] away. _ _
[F] I heard her say, [Gm] over my [Bb] shoulder we'll meet again [Eb] someday on the _
[F] avenue. _ _ _ _ _ _
[Ab] _ [Eb] Tangled up [Bb] in blue. _ _
[Ab] I _ [Bb] _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ [Ab] _
_ _ _ [Bb] _ _ _ _ _
[Ab] _ _ [Bb] _ _ had a job [Ab] in the great north [Bb] woods, working as a cook for a [Ab] _ _ [Bb] smell.
But I never did like [Ab] it all that [Eb] much, and one day the axe just fell.
[Bb] So I drifted down [Ab] to New Orleans, [Bb] I was looking to be [Ab] _ employed.
_ [Bb] Looking for a while [Eb] on a fishing boat right _ outside of _ Delacroix.
_ _ [F] All the while [Gm] I was alone, [Bb] the past was close [Eb] behind.
_ [F] I seen a [Gm] lot of women, [Bb] but she never escaped my [Eb] mind.
And I [F] just grew, _
_ _ _ _ [Ab] _ [Eb] tangled up [Bb] in blue.
_ [Ab] _ _ _ _
[Bb] _ _ _ _ [Fm] _ _ _ _
[Bb] _ _ _ _ _ [Fm] _ _ _
[Bb] _ _ _ _ [Ab] _ _ [Bb] _ _
She was working [Ab] in a topless place, [Bb] I stopped in for [Fm] a [Bb] beer. _
Just kept looking [Ab] at the side of her [Eb] face, and the spotlight so clear. _ _
[Bb] _ Later on when the [Ab] crowd thinned out, [Bb] I was just about to do [Ab] the same. _
[Bb] She was standing there, [Fm] and I'm packing my [Eb] chair, so tell me don't I know your name. _ _
[F] I mumbled something [Gm] underneath my dress, [Bb] she studied the lines [Eb] on her face.
[F] I must admit, [Gm] I felt a little uneasy [Bb] when she bent down to [Eb] tie the lace of [F] my shoe. _ _ _ _ _
[Ab] _ [Eb] Tangled up [Bb] in blue. _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ [Eb] _ _ _
_ _ [Bb] _ She lit a burner on the stove, and offered me [Ab] a pint.
[Bb] I thought she'd never [Eb] say hello, she said, you know you look like the silent type.
_ [Bb] Then she opened up [C] a book of poems, [Bb] and she handed it to [Eb] me.
_ [Bb] _ Written by [C] an Italian poet [Eb] from the 15th century.
_ _ [F] And every [Gm] one of them words rang true, [Bb] and glowed like [Eb] burning _ coals.
[F] _ More and more [Gm] of every page, [Bb] like it was written in [Eb] my soul.
From me [F] to _ you.
_ _ _ [Ab] _ _ [Eb] Tangled [Bb] up in blue.

I lived with them down [Ab] on Montague Street, [Bb] in a basement down the stairs.
There was music in the cafes at [Eb] night, revolution in the air. _
[Bb] Then he started [Fm] in the dealing with [Bb] slaves, something inside of him died.
She had to sell [Ab] everything she [Eb]
owned, and froze up _ inside. _
[F] When it finally [Gm] the bottom dropped [Bb] out, I [Eb] became withdrawn. _
_ [F] Only thing [Gm] I knew how to do, [Bb] was to keep on [Eb] keeping on.
Like a [F] bird that flew, [Bb] _ [F] _ _ _ _
[Ab] _ [Eb] tangled up [Bb] in blue. _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
[Fm] _ _ [Bb] _ So now I'm [Ab] going back again, I [Bb] got to get to her somehow.
_ _ _ All the people we used to know, [Eb] they're an illusion to me now.
_ [Bb] _ _ Some are _
[Ab] _ mathematicians, _ [Bb] some are [Ab] carpenters' wives.
[Bb] Don't know how it all got started, [Eb] I don't know what they're doing with their lives.
_ [F] Me, I'm [Gm] still on the [Bb] road, heading for another [Eb] _ joint.
_ [F] We always [Gm] did feel the same, [Bb] we're just all from a [Eb] different point _ [F] of view. _
