[Verse 1]
 
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.
