[G] [D] [A]
Early [G] one morning the sun was [A] shining I was laying in bed
[D] Wondering if she'd changed at all If her hair was still red
Her [G] folks, we sell our lives [A] together, sure was [G] gonna be rough.
They never [D] did like Papa's homemade dress, Mama's banquet was big enough.
And I was standing on the side of the [A] road, rain falling [D] on my shoes.
[E] Heading out for [D] the East Coast, Lord knows I paid some dues.
[E] Getting through, [D] tangled [A] up in blue.
She [D] was married when we first [A] met, soon to be divorced.
I helped [G] her out of a jam I [A] get, but I used a little too much force.
We drove [G] that car as far as we [A] could, abandoned it out West.
[D] Split off on a dark night, night for the green, it was fast.
[B] She turned around to look at [A] me as I was [D] walking away.
I [F#m] had to say over my [A] shoulder, we'll meet [D] again someday on [E] the avenue.
[A] Tangled up in blue.
I [D] had a job in the great North [A] Woods, working as a [G] cook for a [A] spell.
But I never [Gm] did like it all that [D] much, and one day the axe just [A] fell.
So I [G] drifted down to New [A] Orleans, lucky for to [G] be employed.
[A] Working for a while on a fishing [D] boat right outside of Delacroix.
But all the while, I was [A] alone, the past was [D] close behind.
[E] I saw a lot [D] of women, [A] but she never escaped my mind.
And I [E] just grew, [A] tangled up in blue.
She [G] was working in a [A] topper's clinic, I stopped in [D] for a beer.
I just kept looking at the side of her face in the spotlight so clear.
[A] Later on when the clouds [A] thinned out, I was just about [G] to do the same.
She was [D] standing there in the back of my chair, saying to me, don't I know your name.
[E] I heard her [F#] something underneath [A] my breath, she studied the [D] lines on my [E] face.
I must admit I was a [A] little uneasy when she bent [D] down to tie the laces [E] of my shoe.
[D] [A] Tangled up in blue.
She [D] laid a burner on the [A] stove, [D] offered me a pie.
[A] I thought she'd never say hello, [D] she said you look like the silent type.
She opened up a book of poems, handed [G] it to me.
[A] Written [G] by an [D] Italian poet from the 13th century.
[E] And every one of those [A] words rang true and good like burning [D] coal.
The corner [B] of every page like it was written in [D] my soul.
From me to [E]
you, [A] tangled up in blue.

[A] I lived with him [D] on Monte Cristo, basement [G] down the stairs.
[A] There was music in the cafes [D] at night, revolutionary.
[A] When he started [G] into dealing with [A] slaves, something [G] inside of them died.
[A] She had to [G] sell everything that she [D] owned, throws up inside.
When finally the bottom fell [A] out, she became withdrawn.
The only [F#m] thing she knew how to [A] do was to keep on keeping on like a bird [E] that flew.
[D]
Tangled [A] up in blue.
So now I'm going back again, I gotta get [G] to her somehow.
[A]
All you [D] people we used to know, [A] they're an illusion to me now.
Some [Bm] are mathematicians, [A] some are carpenter's wives.
I don't know how [Bm] it all got started.
[D] I don't know what they're doing with their lives.
[F#m] I'm still on [A] the road, heading for another joint.
[E] We always did feel [A] the same, we just saw it [D] from a different point [E] of view.
