Tangled Up In Blue. From the album Real Live
In between the D and the Bm during the verses play one beat at C# on the A string.
[Verse 1]
A G A G Early one morning, the sun was shining he was laying in bed A G D Bm wondering if she changed at all if her hair was still red. A G A G Her folks they said that their lives together sure was gonna be rough A G D Bm they never did like mama’s homemade dress papa’s bankbook wasn’t big enough. E F#m D A E D and he was standing on the side of the road rain falling on his shoes. E F#m D A E D Heading out for the old east coast, radio blasting the news Bm A Asus4 straight on through. Tangled up in blue.
[Verse 2]
A G A G She was married when they first met to a man four times her age A G D Bm he left her penniless, in the state of regret it was time to bust out of the cage. A G A G Then they drove that car as far as they could abandoned it out west A G D Bm splitting up on a dark, sad night both agreeing that it was best. E F#m D A E D She turned around to look at him as he was walking away. E F#m D A E D Saying I wish i could tell you all the things that i never learned how to say Bm A Asus4 he said that’s alright babe i love you too but we were tangled up in blue.
[Verse 3]
A G A G He had a steady job and a pretty face and everything seemed to fit A G D Bm One day he could just feel the waste and put it all down and split. A G A G Then he drifted down to New Orleans where they treated him like a boy A G D Bm he nearly went mad in Baton Rouge he nearly drowned in Delacroix. E F#m D A E D and all the time he was alone the past was close behind. E F#m D A E D he had one too many lovers then and none of them were too refined Bm A Asus4 all except for you but you were tangled up in blue.
[Verse 4]
A G A G She was working in the blinding light and I stopped in for a drink. A G D Bm I just kept looking at her face so white I didn’t know what to think. A G A G Later on as the crowd thinned out I was getting ready to leave A G D Bm she was standing there, right beside my chair saying “what’s that you got up your sleeve?” E F#m D A E D I said “nothing baby, and that’s for sure” she leaned down into my face. E F#m D A E D I could feel the heat and the pulse of her as she bent down to tie the laces Bm A Asus4 of my shoe, tangled up in blue.
[Verse 5]
A G A G I lived with him on Montague street in a basement down the stairs A G D Bm there was snow all winter and no heat revolution was in the air. A G A G Then one day all his slaves ran free something inside of him died. A G D Bm the only thing i could do was be me and get on that train and ride. E F#m D A E D and when it all came crashing down I was already south. E F#m D A E D I didn’t know whether the world was flat or round I had the worst taste in my mouth Bm A Asus4 that I ever knew, tangled up in blue.

[Verse 6]
A G A G So now i’m going back again, maybe tomorrow, maybe next year. A G D Bm I’ve got to find someone among the women and men whose destiny is unclear. A G A G Some are masters of illusion some are ministers of the trade. A G D Bm All under strong delusion all of their beds are unmade. E F#m D A E D Me I’m still heading towards the sun trying to stay out of the joint. E F#m D A E D We always did love the very same one we just saw her from a different point Bm A Asus4 of view. Tangled up in blue.
