Bob Dylan – Tangled Up In Blue (Ukulele Live)

G                     F
Early one morning the sun was shining

G                 F
She was laying in bed

G                  F
Wondering if she'd changed at all

       C
If her hair was still red

    G                      F
Her folks, they said their lives together

G                 F
Sure was gonna be rough

     G                     F
They never did like mama's homemade dress

       C
Papa's bankbook wasn't big enough

    D                      Em
And he was standing on the side of the road

G                   C
Rain falling on his shoes

D                   Em
Heading out for the East Coast

     G                  C            D
Lord knows he paid some dues getting through

F       C     G    Gsus4 G Gsus4
Tangled up in blue

G                    F
She was married when they first meet

G            F
Soon to be divorced

   G                   F
He helped her out of a jam I guess

       C
But he used a little too much force

     G                 F
They drove that car as far as they could

 G               F
Abandoned it out West

G                 F
Splitting up on a dark sad night

      C
Both agreeing it was best

    D                Em
She turned around to look at him

   G               C
As he was walking away

D               Em
Saying over her shoulder  

      G              C            D
We'll meet again someday on the avenue

F       C     G    Gsus4 G Gsus4
Tangled up in blue

G               F
He had a job in Santa Fe

G                   F
Working in an old hotel

       G                 F
But he never did like it all that much

    C
And one day he just went to hell

      G               F
So he drifted down to New Orleans

G                 F
Lucky not to be destroyed

         G                  F
Where he got him a job on a fishing boat

      C
Right outside of Delacroix

    D                Em
But all the while he was alone

    G               C
The past was close behind

D                Em
He seen a lot of women

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

F       C     G    Gsus4 G Gsus4
Tangled up in blue

G                    F
She was working in a topless place

    G                  F
And I stopped in for a beer

  G                        F
I just kept looking at the side of her face

       C
In the spotlight so clear

    G                 F
And later on when the crowd thinned out

      G                    F
I was just about to do the same

        G                      F
She was standing there right beside my chair

                C
She said: don't tell me, let me guess your name

  D                       Em
I muttered something underneath my breath

    G                       C
She studied the lines on my face

  D                    Em
I must admit it felt a little uneasy

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

F       C     G    Gsus4 G Gsus4
Tangled up in blue

  G                  F
I lived with them on Montague Street

     G                 F
In a basement down the stairs

          G              F
There was music in the cafes at night

        C
And revolution in the air

     G               F
Then he started into dealing with slaves

    G                       F
And something inside of him died

    G                F
She had to sell everything she owned

    C
And froze up inside

    D                Em
And when it all came crashing down

G            C
I became withdrawn

    D                 Em
The only thing I knew how to do

    G               C                   D
Was keep on keeping on like a bird that flew

F       C     G    Gsus4 G Gsus4
Tangled up in blue

   G                F
So now I'm going on back again

         G              F
I got to get to them somehow

G                F
All the faces we used to know

            C
They're an illusion to me now

G               F
Some are mathematicians

G                       F
Some are truck driver's wives

      G                   F
Don't know how it all got started

             C
I don't know what they're doing with their lives

    D            Em
But me I'm still on the road

G                   C
Heading for another joint

   D          Em
We always did feel the same

        G                       C        D
We just saw it from a different point of view

F       C     G    Gsus4 G Gsus4     G
