C                     Bb
Early one morning the sun was shinin'

C                Bb
He was layin' in bed

C                  Bb
Wond'rin' if she'd changed at all

       F
If her hair was still red

    C                     Bb
Her folks they said their lives together

C                 Bb
Sure was gonna be rough

C                          Bb
They never did like Mama's homemade dress,

       F
Papa's bankbook wasn't big enough

    G                      Am
And he was standin' at the side of the road

C                   F
Rain fallin' on his shoes

G                   Am
Heading out for the old East Coast

     C                  F             G
Lord knows he paid some dues, gettin' through

Bb      F     C     Csus4 C Csus4  C Csus4 C Csus4
Tangled up in blue.
[Verse 2]
C                    Bb
She was married when they first met

C            Bb
Soon to be divorced

C                      Bb
He helped her out of a jam I guess

       F
But he used a little too much force

       C                 Bb
And he drove that car as far as he could

C                Bb
Abandoned it out west

C                      Bb
And they split up on a dark sad night

      F
Both agreeing it was best

    G                    Am
And she turned around to look at him

   C               F
As he was walkin' away

G                        Am
And she said "This can't be the end

      C               F              G
We'll meet again some day, on the avenue,

Bb      F     C     Csus4 C Csus4 C Csus4 C Csus4
Tangled up in blue."
[Verse 3]
C                   Bb
He had a job in the great north woods

C                       Bb
Working as a cook for a spell

       C                 Bb
But he never did like it all that much

        F
And one day the axe just fell

      C               Bb
So he drifted down to New Orleans

             C                      Bb
Where he was lucky enough to be employed

C                        Bb
Workin' for a-while on a fishin' boat

      F
Right outside of Delacroix

    G                    Am
But all the while he was alone

    C                F
The past was close behind

G                Am
He seen a lot of women

        C                 F                 G
But she never escaped his mind and he just grew

Bb      F     C     Csus4 C Csus4 C Csus4 C Csus4
Tangled up in blue.
[Verse 4]
C                    Bb
She was workin' in a topless place

C                      Bb
And I stopped in for a beer

  C                        Bb
I just kept lookin' at the side of her face

     F
In a spotlight so clear

    C               Bb
And later on as the crowd thinned out

C                   Bb
I's about to do the same

        C                 Bb
She was standing there in back of my chair

        F
Sayin' "Tell me what's your name?"

  G                       Am
I muttered something underneath my breath

C                           F
She studied the lines on my face

  G                   Am
I must admit I felt a little uneasy

         C                    F           G
When she bent down to tie the laces of my shoes

Bb      F     C     Csus4 C Csus4 C Csus4 C Csus4
Tangled up in blue.
[Verse 5]
C                Bb
She lit a burner on the stove

    C            Bb
And offered me a pipe

C                          Bb
"Thought you'd never say hello", she said

     F
"You look like the quiet type"

C                   Bb
And she opened up a book of poems

C                Bb
And handed it to me

C             Bb
Written by an Italian poet

         F
From the thirteenth century

    G                 Am
And every one of them words rang true

    C                   F
And glowed like burning coal

G              Am
Pouring off of every page

            C             F               G
Like it was written in my soul from me to you

Bb      F     C     Csus4 C Csus4 C Csus4 C Csus4
Tangled up in blue.
[Verse 6]
C                  Bb
He was always in a hurry

C               Bb
Too busy or too stoned

C                  Bb
And everything she ever planned

     F
Just had to be postponed

C                            Bb
She thought they were successful

C                    Bb
He thought they were blessed

C                Bmaj7
With objects and material things

    F
But I never was impressed

    G                Am
And when it all came crashing down

C            F
I became withdrawn

G                     Am
The only thing I knew how to do

       C               F                   G
Was to keep on keeping on like a bird that flew

Bb      F     C     Csus4 C Csus4 C Csus4 C Csus4
Tangled up in blue.
[Verse 7]
C                Bb
So now I'm going back again

C                     Bb
Got to get to her somehow

C                 Bb
All the people we used to know

           F
They're an illusion to me now

C               Bb
Some are mathematicians

C                    Bb
Some are carpenters' wives

C                         Bb
Don't know how it all got started

      F
Don't know what they're doin' with their lives

    G             Am
But me, I'm still on the road

C                   F
Heading for another joint

G             Am
We always did feel the same

        C                    F        G
We just saw from a different point of view

Bb      F     C     Csus4 C Csus4 C Csus4 C Csus4
Tangled up in blue.
