Capo 2
G f
Early one morning the sun was shinin'
G f
I was layin' in bed.
G f
Wondering if she'd changed at all
C Am
If her hair was still red.
G f
Her folks they said that our lives together,
G f
Sure was gonna be rough.
G f
They never did like Mama's home-made dress,
C Am
Papa's bank book wasn't big enough.
D Em c
And I was standing on the side of the road,
G c
Rain falling on my shoes.
D Em c
Heading out for the old east coast,
G c
Lord knows I've paid some dues,
Am
Getting through,
g
Tangled up in blue.
G f
She was married when we first met
G f
Soon to be divorced
G f
I helped her out of a jam I guess
C Am
But I used a little too much force
G f
We drove that car as far as we could
G f
Abandoned it out west
G f
Split up on a sad dark night
C Am
Both agreeing it was best
D Em c
She turned around to look at me
G c
As I was walking away
D Em c
I heard her say over her shoulder
g c
We'll meet again some day
Am
On the avenue
G f
Tangled up in Blue
G f
I had a job in the great north woods
G f
Working as a cook for a spell
G f
But I never did like it all that much
C Am
And one day the axe just fell
G f
So I drifted down to New Orleans
G f
Where I was looking to be employed
G f
Workin' for a while on a fishing boat
C Am
Right outside of Delacroix
D Em c
But all the while I was alone
G c
The past was close behind
D Em c
I seen alot of women
G c
But she never escaped my mind
Am
And I just grew
g
Tangled up in blue
G f
She was working in topless place
G f
And I stopped in for a beer
G f
I just kept looking at the side of her face
C Am
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 in back of my chair
C Am
Said to me Don't I know your name
D Em c
I muttered something undernaeth my breath
G c
She studdied the lines on my face
D Em c
I must admit I felt a little uneasy
G c
When she bent down to tie the laces
Am
Of my shoe
g
Tangled up in blue
G f
She lit a burner on the stove
G f
And offered me a pipe
G f
I thought you'd never say hello she said
C Am
You look like the silent type
G f
Then open up a book of poems
G f
And handed it to me
G f
Written by an Italian
poet
C Am
d Em c
And every one of them words rang true
G c
And glowed like burning coal
D Em c
Pourin' off of every page
G c
Like it was written in my soul
Am
g
Tangled up in blue
