_ _ [D] _ [A] Early one morning the sun [G] was shining, [A] I was laying in [G] bed,
_ [A] wondering if [G] she'd changed at [D] all, if her hair was still red.
[A] The folks, they said our [G] lives together [A] sure was gonna [G] be rough.
[A] They never did like Mama's [G] homemade dress, [D] Papa's bank book wasn't big enough.
[E] And I was standing [F#m] on the side of the [A] road, rain falling on [D] my shoes.
[E]
Heading [F#m] off for the East Coast, Lord [A] knows I played [D] some dukes,
getting [E] through, _ _ [G] tangled [A] up in blue.

She was [G] married when we first [A] met, soon [G] to be divorced.
[A] I helped her out of [G] a jam I guess, [D] but I used a little too much force.
[A] We drove that [G] car as far as we could, [A] abandoned it out [G] west.
[A] Put her up [G] on a dock sat [D] naive, but the green it was best.
[E] She turned [F#m] around to look at [A] me as I was walking [D] away.
[E] I heard her say, [F#m] oh my shoulder [A] will meet [D] again someday on the [E] avenue, _ _ _
[G] [D] tangled up [A] in blue. _ _ _ _ _
_ [D] _ _ [A] _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ I had a [G] job in the great [A] Northwoods, working as a cook [G] for a spell.
[A] But I never did [G] like it all that [D] much, and one day the ax just fell.
So [A] I drifted [G] down to New Orleans, [A] where I lucked out [G] with a B employed.
_ [A] Working for a [G] while on a fishing [D] boat right outside of Delacroix.
[E] But all [F#m] the while I was alone, the [A] past was close [D] behind.
[E] I seen a lot [F#m] of women, [A] but she never [D] escaped my mind.
I [E] just grew, _ _ [G] [D] tangled [A] up in blue. _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ She was working [G] in a topless [A] place, and I stopped in [G] for a beer.
[A] I just kept [G] looking at the side of her face, and [D] the spotlight so clear.
[A] Later on [G] when the crowd thinned [A] out, I was just about to do [G] the same.
[A] She was standing [G] there in back of my [D] chair.
I said, baby, don't I know your name?
[E] I murdered something [F#m] underneath my breast.
[A] She studied the lines [D] on my face.
[E] I must admit, [F#m] felt a little [A] uneasy when she bent down to [D] tie the lace.
[E] I just grew, _ [G] [D] tangled up [A] in blue. _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _
She later burned [G] her own stove [A] and offered [G] me a pipe.
[A] I thought you'd [G] never say hello.
She [D] said, you look like a silent type.
And [A] she opened [G] up a book of poems [A] and handed [G] it to me.
[A] Written by [G] an Italian poet [D] from the 15th century.
[E] And every one of [F#m] them words rang true [A] and glowed like sun [D] and coal.
[E] Pouring [F#m] off of every [A] page like it was written [D] in my soul.
[E] Fuck me to you.
_ [G] [D] I'm tangled [A] up in blue. _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _
I lived with [G] him on Montague Street, [A] the basement [G] down the stairs.
[A] There was [G] music in the cafes at night [D] and revolution in the air.
[A] Then he started [G] interfering with [A] slaves, and something [G] inside of him died.
[A] She had to [G] sell everything she [D] owned and froze up inside.
[E] And when it [F#m] finally, the bottom [D] fell out, I became withdrawn.
[E] The only [F#m] thing I knew how to [A] do was to keep on [D] keeping on.
Like [E] a bird that flew.
_ _ [G] [D] Tangled up [A] in blue. _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _
So now [G] I'm going back again.
I got [A] to get the [G] herd somehow.
[A] All [G] the people you used to know, they're [D] an illusion for me now.
[A] Some [G] are mathematicians.
[A] Some [G] are carpenter's wives.
[A] Don't know how it all [G] got started.
I [D] don't know what they're doing with their lives.
[E] But me, I'm [F#m] still on the [A] road, heading for another [D]
joint.
[E] We always [F#m] did feel the same.
[A] We just saw it from a different [D]
point [E] of view.
