Chords for The Whitlams - Tangled up in Blue (Bob Dylan cover)

[D] _ [G] _ _ [C] _ _ _ [G] _ _
[C] _ _ [D] _ _ [C] _ _ [G] _ _
_ _ _ Early one [C] morning the sun was [G] shining, I was lying [C] in bed
_ [G] Wondering [C] if she had changed at [G] all, if her hair was still red
And her folks, they said our [C] lives together, [G] it sure was [C] gonna be rough
They [G] never did like [C] mama's homemade dress, [G] papa's bank book wasn't big enough
[A]
And she was standing [Bm] on the side of the [D] road, there's rain falling [G] on my shoes
[A] I'm heading out [B] for the old east [D] coast, lord knows [G] I've paid some dues
Getting [A] through, _ _ [C] [G] tangled up [D] in the blue
[C] _ _ [D] _ _ [C] _
_ _ [D] _ _ [C] _ _ [G] _ _
_ _ [D] She was [C] married when we first [D] met, soon to [C] be divorced
[D] I helped her [C] out of a jam I [G] guess, but I used a little too much force
[D] So we drove that [C] car as far as we could, [D] abandoned it [C] out west
[D] Split up on [C] a dark sat night, [G] probably and it was best
[A]
Then she turned [Bm] around and looked at me [D] as I was [G] walking away
[A] I heard her say [Bm] over my shoulder, [D] we're gonna meet [G] again someday on a [A] avenue
We [C] got [G] tangled [D] up in blue
[C] _ _ [D] _ _ [C] _
_ [D] _ _ _ [C] _ _ [G] _ _
_ _ [D] So I had a [C] job in the great north [D] woods, working as a cook [C] for a spell
[D] But I never did [C] like it all that [G] much and one day the ash just fell
[D] So I drifted [C] down to New Orleans where [D] I was lucky enough to be [C] employed
[D] Working for [C] a while on a fishing [G] boat right outside of Delacorte
[A]
But all the while [Bm] I was alone, [D] the past was [G] close behind [A] me
I've seen a lot of [Bm] women, but [D] she never [G] escaped my mind
Yeah, I [A] just grew, _ _ [C] [G] tangled [D] up in the blue
[C] _ _ [D] _ _ [C] _
Oh, [D] oh, [C] oh, oh, oh, oh, [G] oh, oh, oh, oh
_ _ [D] She was [C] working in a topless [D] place and I just [C] stopped in for a beer
[D] I [G] just kept [C] looking at the side of her [G] face in the spotlight so clear
[D] Then later [C] on as the car thinned out [D] I was just about to [C] do the same
[D] She was standing [C] there at the back of my chair [G] singing, tell me don't I know your name?
[A]
I noticed something [Bm] underneath the breath, [D] she stuttered the [G] lines on my [A] face
I must admit I [Bm] felt a [D] little uneasy when she went to [G] dry the lace [A] on my shoe
[C] We got [G] tangled [D] up in [C] blue
So [D] _ _ [C] _
_ [D] _ _ _ [C] _ _ [G] _ _
_ _ [D] she let me [C] burn on the stove [D]
and offered [C] me a pipe
[D] I thought that you would [C] never say hello, she [G] said you looked like a silent type
[D] Then she opened [C] up a book of [D] poems, handed it [C] to me
[D] Written [C] by an Italian [G] poet in the 13th century
_ [A]
And every [Bm] one of those words rang [D] true, like [G] burning [A] coal
It's pouring [Bm] off of every page [D] like it's retaining [G] my soul
[A] Pardon me, do you?
[C] [G] Tangled [D] up in blue
[C] So [D] _ _ [C] _
_ [D] _ _ _ [C] _ _ [G] _ _
_ now now [D] now now I live with him, [C] I'm on [D] Tegucigil in a basement down [C] the stairs
[D] There was music [C] in the cafes and [G] I heard a revolution in the air
[D] Till he shot [C] an interdict and we're [D] slaves till the next side [C] of him died
[D] She had [C] said everything [G] they owned and froze up inside
[A] _
Finally [Bm] as the bottle fell [D] out, I [G] became withdrawn
[A] The only thing [Bm] I knew how to do [D] was to keep on [G] keeping on
[A] Like a bird, _ [C] we got [G] tangled [D] up in blue
[C] _ _ [D] _ _ [C] _
_ [D] _ _ _ [C] _ _ [G] _
Now _ _ [Dm] I'm [C] going back again, [Dm] gotta get to her [C] somehow
_ [D] All the [C] people that we used to [G] know, they're an illusion to me now
[D] Some are [C] _
mathematicians, [Dm] some are [C] carpenter's wives
[Dm] We don't know [C] how this got started, [G] don't know what we do with our [A] lives
Me, I'm [Bm] still on the [D] road, heading for [G] another joint
[A] We didn't [Bm] always see the [D] same and we started from [G] a different [A] point of view _ _
