[Verse 1]
[G]Ear[F]ly [Gsus4]one[G][F][G]
morning the sun was shin[Gsus4]ing
[G]I was laying i[F]n bed
[G]Wondering if she'd changed it all
[Gsus4]If her hair was [C]still red
[G]Her folks they said our lives to[Gsus4]gether
[G]Sure was gonna be rough
[Dm]They never[G] did like Mama's
homemade dress
Papa's [C]bankbook wasn't big enough
And [D]I was standing on
the [Em]side of the road
[G]Rain falling on my [C]shoes
[D]Heading out for the [Em]East Coast
Lord [G]knows I've paid some [C]dues
Getting [D]through
[C]Tangled up in [G]blue[Gsus4]
[G][F][Dm]

[Verse 2]
[G]She was married when we [F]first [Gsus4]meet
[G]Soon to be divor[F]ced[Dm]
[G]I helped her out of a jam I guess
[F]But I use[C]d a little too much force
We [G]drove that car as far
[Gsus4]as we could
[G]Abandoned it out West
Split it up on a dark sad night
Both [C]agreeing it was best
[D]She turned around to [Em]look at me
As [G]I was walking a[C]way
[D]I heard her say o[Em]ver my shoulder
"We'll [G]meet again [C]someday
on the aven[D]ue"
[C]Tangled up in [G]blue[Gsus4]
[G][Gsus4][G][Dm]

[Verse 3]
[G]I had a job in the great north [Gsus4]woods
[G]Working as a cook for a spell
[Gsus4]But I never did[G] like it all that much
[F]And one day[C] the ax just fell
So I [G]drifted down to New Orleans
[Gsus4]I looking t[G]o be
[Gsus4]employed
[G]Working for a while on a fishing boat
Right out[C]side of Delacroix
But [D]all the while I [Em]was alone
The [G]past was close behind
[C]I'v[D]e seen a lot of wom[Em]en
But she [G]never escaped my
[C]mind and I just [D]grew
[C]Tangled up in [G]blue[F][G][Dm]

[Verse 4]
[G]She was working in a [F]topless [Gsus4]place
[G]I stopped in for a[Gsus4] beer
I [G]just kept looking at her side of her face
In the [C]spotlight so clear
[G]Later on as the crowd thinned out
I's just about to do the same
[Dm]She was stan[G]ding there in
the back of my chair
[F]Said tell me [C]"Don't I know your name?"
[D]I muttered something
under[Em]neath my breath
She [G]studied the lines on my [C]face
I [D]must admit I felt a [Em]little uneasy
When she [G]bent down to tie
[C]the lace of my [D]shoe
[F]Tangled [C]up [G]in blue[Gsus4]
[G][Gsus4][G]

[Verse 5]
[Dm]She lit [G]a burner on the stov[Gsus4]e
and [G]offered me [F]a pipe
"I [G]thought you'd never
say hel[F]lo" she said
"You [C]look like the silent type"
Then [G]she opened up a book of poems
And she handed it [Gsus4]to me
[G]Written by an Italian poet
From the [C]fifteenth century
And [D]every one of them [Em]words rang true
And [G]glowed like burning [C]coal
[D]Pouring off of [Em]every page
Like it was [G]written in my [C]soul
from me to [D]you
[F]Tangled [G]up in blue
[F][G][F][G]

[Verse 6]
[F]
I [G]lived with them down on
[F]Montague [Gsus4]Street
In a [G]basement down the stairs
[Dm]There was musi[G]c in the cafes at night
[Gsus4]And revolution [C]in the air
Then [G]he started into
dealing with slaves
[Gsus4]And something[G] inside
of him [Gsus4]died
[G]She had to sell everything she owned
And [C]froze up inside
And [D]when finally the bot[Em]tom fell out
[G]I became withd[C]rawn
The [D]only thing I knew [Em]how to do
Was to [G]keep on keeping [C]on
like a bird that [D]flew
[F]Tangled [C]up in blue
[G][Gsus4][G]
[Gsus4][G][Gsus4]

[Verse 7]
[G][F]
So [G]now I'm going back again
[Gsus4]I got to get her s[G]omehow
[Gsus4]All the p[G]eople we
used to know
[F]They're an [C]il lusion to me now
[G]Some are mathematicians
[Gsus4]Some are [G]carpenter's wives
[Gsus4]Don't know how [G]it all got started
[F]I don't wha[C]t they're
doing with their lives
[D]Me I'm still [Em]on the road
[G]Heading for another [C]joint
[D]We always did [Em]feel the same
We just [G]saw it from a different
[C]point of [D]view
[F]Tangled up [C]in blue
