a bunch of times:
D MajorD Cadd9Cadd9 D MajorD Cadd9Cadd9
Early one morning the sun was shining I was layin’ in bed
D MajorD Cadd9Cadd9 G+G
Wonderin’ if she'd changed at all If her hair still was red
D MajorD Cadd9Cadd9 D MajorD Cadd9Cadd9
Her folks said our lives together Sure was gonna be rough
D MajorD Cadd9Cadd9 G+G
They never did like momma’s homemade dress Papa’s bankbook wasn’t big enough
A augmentedA B minorBm D MajorD G+G
And I was standing at the side of the road rain fallin’ on my shoes
A augmentedA B minorBm D MajorD G+G
Headed out for the east coast lord knows I’ve paid some dues
A augmentedA A7A7 Cadd9Cadd9 G+G D MajorD Cadd9Cadd9 D MajorD Cadd9Cadd9
Getting through Tangled up in blue
Verse 2:
D MajorD Cadd9Cadd9 D MajorD Cadd9Cadd9
She was married when we first meet Soon to be divorced
D MajorD Cadd9Cadd9 G+G
I helped her out of a jam I guess But I used a little too much force
D MajorD Cadd9Cadd9 D MajorD Cadd9Cadd9
We drove that car as far as we could and abandoned it out West
D MajorD Cadd9Cadd9 G+G
Split up on a dark sad night Both agreeing it was best
A augmentedA B minorBm D MajorD G+G
She turned around amd looked at me As I was walking away
A augmentedA B minorBm D MajorD G+G
I heard her say over my shoulder We'll meet again someday
A augmentedA A7A7 Cadd9Cadd9 G+G D MajorD Cadd9Cadd9 D MajorD Cadd9Cadd9 Cadd9 D MajorD Cadd9Cadd9
on the avenue Tangled up in blue
Verse 3:
D MajorD Cadd9Cadd9 D MajorD Cadd9Cadd9
And I had a job in the great north woods Working as a cook for a spell
D MajorD Cadd9Cadd9 G+G
But I never did like it all that much And one day the ax just fell
D MajorD Cadd9Cadd9 D MajorD Cadd9Cadd9
So I drifted down to New Orleans I was lucky 'nough to be employed
D MajorD Cadd9Cadd9 G+G
Working for a while on a fishing boat Right out by the Delacroix
A augmentedA B minorBm D MajorD G+G
But all the while I was alone The past was close behind
A augmentedA B minorBm D MajorD G+G
I seen a lot of women but she never escaped my mind
A augmentedA A7A7 Cadd9Cadd9 G+G D MajorD Cadd9Cadd9 D MajorD Cadd9Cadd9 Cadd9 D MajorD Cadd9Cadd9
And love just grew Tangled up in blue
Verse 4:
D MajorD Cadd9Cadd9 D MajorD Cadd9Cadd9
She was workin' in a topless place and I stopped in for a beer
D MajorD Cadd9Cadd9 G+G
Couldn't stop lookin' at the side of her face in the spot-light so clear
D MajorD Cadd9Cadd9 D MajorD Cadd9Cadd9
Later on when the crowd thinned out and I was 'bout to do the same
D MajorD Cadd9Cadd9 D MajorD G+G
She camem up behind me in the back of my chair sayin' tell me don't I know your name
A augmentedA B minorBm D MajorD G+G
I muttered something underneath my breath She studied the lines on my face
A augmentedA B minorBm D MajorD G+G
Must admit I felt a little uneasy When she bent down to tie the laces
A augmentedA A7A7 Cadd9Cadd9 G+G D MajorD Cadd9Cadd9 D MajorD Cadd9Cadd9 Cadd9 D MajorD Cadd9Cadd9
of my shoe Tangled up in blue
Verse 5:
D MajorD Cadd9Cadd9 D MajorD Cadd9Cadd9
She lit a burner on the stove and offered me a pipe
D MajorD Cadd9Cadd9 G+G
I thought you'd never say hello she said You look like the silent type
D MajorD Cadd9Cadd9 D MajorD Cadd9Cadd9
Then she opened up a book of poems And handed it to me
D MajorD Cadd9Cadd9 G+G
Written by an Italian poet In the thirteenth century
A augmentedA B minorBm D MajorD G+G
And every one of them words rang true And burned like burning coal
A augmentedA B minorBm D MajorD G+G
Pouring out of every page Like it was written in my soul
A augmentedA A7A7 Cadd9Cadd9 G+G D MajorD Cadd9Cadd9 D MajorD Cadd9Cadd9 Cadd9 D MajorD Cadd9Cadd9
from me to you Tangled up in bl----ue yeaaah mama
Verse 6:
D MajorD Cadd9Cadd9 D MajorD Cadd9Cadd9
I lived with them on Montague Street In a basement down the stairs
D MajorD Cadd9Cadd9 G+G
There was music in cafes at night And revolution in the air
D MajorD Cadd9Cadd9 D MajorD Cadd9Cadd9
But he got into dealing with slaves And something inside of him died
D MajorD Cadd9Cadd9 G+G
She had to sell everything she owned And just froze up inside
A augmentedA B minorBm D MajorD G+G
And then when the bottom fell out I became withdrawn
A augmentedA B minorBm D MajorD G+G
The only thing I knew how to do Was to keep on keeping on
A augmentedA A7A7 Cadd9Cadd9 G+G D MajorD Cadd9Cadd9 D MajorD Cadd9Cadd9 Cadd9 D MajorD Cadd9Cadd9
like a bird that flew Tangled up in bl---ue
Verse 7:
D MajorD Cadd9Cadd9 D MajorD Cadd9Cadd9
Oh, and now I'm going back again I got to get her somehow
D MajorD Cadd9Cadd9 G+G
And all the people we knew back then, They're an illusion to me now
D MajorD Cadd9Cadd9 D MajorD Cadd9Cadd9
Some were mathematicians Some were carpenter's wives
D MajorD Cadd9Cadd9 G+G
Don't know how it all got started I don't know what they're doing with their lives
A augmentedA B minorBm D MajorD G+G
But me I'm still on the road Looking for another joint
A augmentedA B minorBm D MajorD G+G
We always did feel the same We just saw it from a different point
A augmentedA A7A7 Cadd9Cadd9 G+G D MajorD Cadd9Cadd9 D MajorD Cadd9Cadd9
of view Tangled up in Bl---ue assorted vocalizations:
