[A]
Early one morning the sun was shining I was laying in bed
Wondering if she changed at [D] all If her hair was still red
Well [A] folks they said our [A] lives together Sure was gonna be rough
They never did like mama's homemade dress Papa's bank book wasn't big enough
[E] Me I'm standing [F#m] on the side of the road [A] Rain falling all over shoes
[E] I'm heading out to [F#m] the east coast Lord knows I've paid some dues
Getting [E] through, [D] sang girl up [A] in blue
She was married when we first met Was soon to be divorced
I help her out of a jam I guess [D] But I use a little too much force
[A] We drove that car as far as we could Abandoned it out west
Split up on a sad dark night [D] But the green it was best
[E] She turned [F#m] around and looked at me As I was [A] walking away
And I heard her say over my shoulder We'll meet [D] again someday on the [E] avenue
Sang girl [A] up in blue
I was living in the great north woods Working as a cook for a [A] spell
I never did like it all that much And [D] one day the axe just fell
[A] So I drifted down to New Orleans Where I happened to be employed
I was working for a while on a fishing boat [D] Right outside of Delacroix
[E] And all the [F#] while I wasn't known The past was [A] close behind
[E] I seen a lot of [F#] women who [A] questioned Never stayed in my mind
And I [E] just drove Sang girl up [A] in blue
She was wondering how the clock was boring I stopped in for a beer
I just came a looking at the side of her [D] face The spotlight so clear
[A] Now later on the crowd then bowed And I was struck about it do the same
Then she was standing there in the back of my chest [D] And said, I don't know your name
[E] And I'm running from underneath my breath She [B] started to lie on my [E] face
I must admit [F#] I'm just a little uneasy [A] We should be down to tabulation
[E] But my skills ain't worth [A] her love
I know, I know, I know

She lit a burner on the stove And offered me a pipe
I thought you'd never say hello She said [D] you looked like the silent type
[A] And then she opened my big book of poems And handed it to me
Written by an Italian poet [D] From the 13th century
[E] Every one [F#m] of those words rang [A] true Love like [B] burning coal
[E] Pouring off of [F#] every page Like it was written [D] in my soul
For [E] me to you [G] Sang girl [A] up in blue

[A] [C] [D] was like [A] something inside my [D]
diet
[A] And she had the cell And she opened [Am]
the [D] cell
[E]
Finally [F#] won the fight back Now [D] that came with trouble
[A]
[E] All she now [F#] knew how to do [A] Was keep people on
Keep them on like a [E] bird that flew
[G] [D] Sang a [A] little blue
Oh yeah
Now I'm heading back again I got to her somehow
And all the people that I used to [D] know They're an illusion to me now
[A] Some are mathematicians Some are conference wise
I don't know how they all got started [D] I don't know what they're doing with their [E] lives
Maybe I [F#] stood on [A] the road headed for [B] another joint
We [F#] always didn't feel the same We just saw it from [D] a different point [E] of view
[G] Sang a little [A] blue
