[Verse]
G                                    
Early one morning the sun was shining
A       G            
She was laying in bed
A            G                   
Wondering if she'd changed it all
       Bm                
If her hair was still red
          A               G             
Her folks they said their lives together
A              G       
Sure was gonna be rough
           A        G                    
They never did like mama's homemade dress
D                      Bm        
Papa's bankbook wasn't big enough


[Chorus]
       E                           D       
And he was standing on the side of the road
E            D           
Rain falling on his shoes
            E       D         
Heading out for the East coast
E                       D            Bm     
Lord knows he paid some dues getting through
              A   
Tangled up in blue

[Verse]
                          G        
She was married when they first met
A          G       
Soon to be divorced
          A       G               
He helped her out of a jam I guess
       Bm                          
But he used a little too much force
Bm7        A                     G          
■   And he drove that car as far as he could
A                G    A
Abandoned it out West ■
                       G        
Splitting up on a dark sad night
                     Bm  
Both agreeing it was best


[Chorus]
E                         Bm D  
She turned around to look at him
Bm        D           
As he was walking away
E                       
Saying over his shoulder
      D      E     D              Bm    
We'll ■ meet again someday on the avenue
              A   
Tangled up in blue

[Verse]
                      G 
He had a job in Santa Fe
A             G        
Working in an old hotel
A                            G        
But he never did like it all that much
               Bm               
And one day it just went to hell
      A                   G      
So he drifted down to New Orleans
A                        
Lucky not to be destroyed
       G         A                    
But we got him a job on a fishing boat
G     D          Bm       
Right outside of Delacroix


[Chorus]
    E                D        
But all the while he was alone
E            D           
The past was close behind
E                     
He seen a lot of women
D             E           D    Bm              
But she never escaped his mind and he just grew
           A  Bm7  A Bm7

[Verse]
A                      G            
■ She was working in a topless place
      A          G         
And I stopped in for a beer
       A    G                               
I just kept looking at the sight of her face
       D         Bm      
In the spotlight so clear
A                           G       A  
And later on when the crowd thinned out
                           G   
I was just about to do the same
        A                           G       
She was standing there right beside my chair
D                               Bm       
Said Don't tell me let me guess your name


[Chorus]
  E                             D        
I muttered something underneath my breath
E                        D      
She studied the lines on my face
E                            D     
I must admit I felt a little uneasy
              E       Bm7                 Bm  
When she bent down to tie the laces of my shoe
           A  D    A
Tangled up in blue ■


[Verse]
        G                           
I lived with them on Montague Street
     A             G         
In a basement down the stairs
          A            G             
There was music in the cafés at night
    D                 Bm 
And revolution in the air
        A            G                  
Then he started into dealing with slaves
    A                   G       
And something inside of him died
A   G                          D    
She had to sell everything she owned
    Bm             
And froze up inside


[Chorus]
         E           Bm       D   
And when it all came crashing down
E                   
■ I became withdrawn
D              E               
The only thing I knew how to do
         D  E          D                Bm  
Was keep on keeping on like a bird that flew
              A   
Tangled up in blue

[Verse]
                    G         
So now I'm going on back again
                  A      
I got to get them somehow
        G                    
All the faces we used to know
A       G                    
They're an illusion to me now
         Bm            
Some are mathematicians
               A             
Some are truck driver's wives
G                                
Don't know how it all got started
A            G             Bm              
I don't what they're doin' with their lives
       E         D          
But me I'm still on the road


[Chorus]
E           D            
Heading for another joint
          E        D       
We always did feel the same
        E             D                  Bm  
We just saw it from a different point of view
Bm                
Tangled up in blue
