[G] [F] [G]
Early one [F] morning the sun was [G] shining, she was [F] lying in bed, [G] wondering [F] if she'd changed at [C] all, if her hair was still red.
[G] If folks didn't [F] sit their lives together, [G]
sure it was [F] gonna be rough.
[G] They never did [F] like mama's homemade dress, [C] papa's bank book wasn't big enough.
[D] He was [Em] standing on the side of the [G] road, rain falling [C] on his shoes.
[D] Heading [Em] out for the East [G] Coast, Lord knows he [C] paid some dues.
[D] Getting through, [C] tangled [G] up in blue.
[C] [G]
[C] [G]
She was [F] married to a name he'd first [G] met, soon to be [F] divorced.
[G] He helped her [F] out of a jam, I guess, [C] but he used a little too much force.
[G] And he drove that [F] car as far as they [G] could, abandoned [F] it out West.
[G] Splitting up on [F] the docks that [C] night, both a grey and it was best.
[D] She turned [G] around to look at him as he was [C] walking away.
[F#m] Saying [Em] over her shoulder, we'll [D] meet again [C] someday [D] on the avenue.
[F] Tangled [G] up in blue.
[C]
[G]
He had a [F] job in Santa [G] Fe, working [F] in an old hotel.
[G] But he never did [F] like it all that much, [C] one day he just went to hell.
[G] So he drifted [F] down to New Orleans, [G] lucky not to [F] be destroyed.
[G] Well he got him a job [F] on a fishing [C] boat docked outside Delacroix.
[D] But all the while [Em] he was [G] alone, the past was [C] close behind.
[D] He'd seen [Em] a lot of women, [G] but she never [C] escaped his mind.
And he [D] just grew, [C]
tangled [G] up in blue.
[C] [G]
She was [F] working in a topless [G] place and I stopped [F] in for a beer.
[D] I just kept [F] looking at the side of her face [C] and the spotlights opened the air.
[G] And later [F] on when the clouds came [G] down, I was just about to do [F] the same.
She [G] was standing [F] there right beside my chair, said, [C] don't tell me, let me guess your name.
[D] I muttered [G] something underneath my breath, she studied the lines [C] on my face.
[D] Must admit, [Em] felt a little uneasy when she [E] bent down to tie [C] the laces of [D] my shoe.
[C] Tangled up [G] in blue.
[C] [G]
I lived with [F] him on Montague Street [G] in a basement down the [F] stairs.
[G] There was music in [F] the cafes at [C] night and revolution in the air.
[G] Well he started [F] in to dealing with [G] slaves and something inside [F] of him died.
[G] She had to [F] sell everything she [C] owned and froze up inside.
[Bm] And when it [Em] all came crashing [G] down, [E] I became [C] withdrawn.
The [Em] only thing I knew how to [E] do was keep on keeping [C] on.
Like a [D] bird that flew.
Tangled up in [G] blue.
[C] [G]
So now I'm going [F] on back again, I [G] got to get to them [F] somehow.
[G] All the faces [F] we used to [C] know, they're an illusion to me now.
[G] Some are [F] mathematicians, [G] some are [F] truck drivers' wives.
[G] Don't know how it [F] all got started, I [C] don't know what they're doing with their lives.
[D] But me, [Em] I'm still on the road, [A] heading for [C] another joint.
[D] We [G] always did feel the same, we just saw it from a [C] different point [D] of view.
[A] Tangled up [G] in blue.
