a bunch of times:

D                     Cadd9             D              Cadd9
Early one morning the sun was shining   I was layin’ in bed
D                  Cadd9                   G
Wonderin’ if she'd changed at all   If her hair still was red
D                   Cadd9          D                 Cadd9
Her folks said our lives together  Sure was gonna be rough
D                           Cadd9                  G
They never did like momma’s homemade dress   Papa’s bankbook wasn’t big enough

     A                     Bm                     D                  G
And I was standing at the side of the road   rain fallin’ on my shoes
A                   Bm              D                    G
Headed out for the east coast lord knows I’ve paid some dues
        A      A7  Cadd9   G     D  Cadd9 D Cadd9
Getting through   Tangled up in blue

Verse 2:
D                    Cadd9           D          Cadd9
She was married when we first meet   Soon to be divorced
  D                   Cadd9                       G
I helped her out of a jam I guess    But I used a little too much force
    D                 Cadd9                D                Cadd9
We drove that car as far as we could   and abandoned it out West
D             Cadd9                  G
Split up on a dark sad night   Both agreeing it was best

A                     Bm               D             G
She turned around amd looked at me  As I was walking away
  A                  Bm                  D           G
I heard her say over my shoulder   We'll meet again someday
       A     A7 Cadd9   G     D  Cadd9 D Cadd9 Cadd9 D Cadd9
on the avenue   Tangled up in blue


Verse 3:
    D                  Cadd9              D                       Cadd9
And I had a job in the great north woods  Working as a cook for a spell
D                       Cadd9                   G
But I never did like it all that much   And one day the ax just fell
     D               Cadd9              D                  Cadd9
So I drifted down to New Orleans  I was lucky 'nough to be employed
D                        Cadd9                G
Working for a while on a fishing boat   Right out by the Delacroix

    A               Bm          D                  G
But all the while I was alone   The past was close behind
  A             Bm              D                G
I seen a lot of women   but she never escaped my mind
              A   A7  Cadd9   G     D  Cadd9 D Cadd9 Cadd9 D Cadd9
And love just grew    Tangled up in blue

Verse 4:
D                    Cadd9               D                  Cadd9
She was workin' in a topless place   and I stopped in for a beer
D                          Cadd9                     G
Couldn't stop lookin' at the side of her face in the spot-light so clear
D                  Cadd9                  D                     Cadd9
Later on when the crowd thinned out   and I was 'bout to do the same
D                  Cadd9              D                G
She camem up behind me in the back of my chair  sayin' tell me don't I know your name

A                    Bm                        D                       G
I muttered something underneath my breath  She studied the lines on my face
 A                   Bm              D                            G
Must admit I felt a little uneasy   When she bent down to tie the laces
      A  A7 Cadd9   G     D  Cadd9 D Cadd9 Cadd9 D Cadd9
of my shoe  Tangled up in blue

Verse 5:
D                Cadd9             D            Cadd9
She lit a burner on the stove  and offered me a pipe
D                         Cadd9                G
I thought you'd never say hello she said   You look like the silent type
D                    Cadd9          D                Cadd9
Then she opened up a book of poems  And handed it to me
D                     Cadd9          G
Written by an Italian poet    In the thirteenth century

    A                 Bm         D                  G
And every one of them words rang true   And burned like burning coal
A              Bm                      D             G
Pouring out of every page  Like it was written in my soul
           A  A7  Cadd9   G     D  Cadd9 D Cadd9 Cadd9 D Cadd9
from me to you    Tangled up in bl----ue   yeaaah mama

Verse 6:
D                    Cadd9                  D                 Cadd9
I lived with them on Montague Street   In a basement down the stairs
          D        Cadd9                G
There was music in cafes at night   And revolution in the air
    D           Cadd9                     D                       Cadd9
But he got into dealing with slaves   And something inside of him died
D                    Cadd9                      G
She had to sell everything she owned   And just froze up inside

A                 Bm                D            G
And then when the bottom fell out   I became withdrawn
    A                 Bm                 D               G
The only thing I knew how to do   Was to keep on keeping on
                 A  A7 Cadd9   G     D  Cadd9 D Cadd9 Cadd9 D Cadd9
like a bird that flew  Tangled up in bl---ue


Verse 7:
        D              Cadd9                 D       Cadd9
Oh, and now I'm going back again    I got to get her somehow
    D                 Cadd9                        G
And all the people we knew back then,   They're an illusion to me now
D         Cadd9             D                     Cadd9
Some were mathematicians    Some were carpenter's wives
      D                   Cadd9             G
Don't know how it all got started   I don't know what they're doing with their lives
    A            Bm             D                   G
But me I'm still on the road    Looking for another joint
   A          Bm                       D                       G
We always did feel the same    We just saw it from a different point
    A   A7  Cadd9   G     D  Cadd9 D Cadd9
 of view    Tangled up in Bl---ue  assorted vocalizations:


Outro:
