Verse 1
(A major) Early one mornin' the sun was shinin'
(A major) I was layin' in bed
(A major) Wondrin' if she'd changed at all
If her (D major) hair was still red
(A major) Her folks they said our lives together
(A major) Sure was gonna be rough
They (A major) never did like
Mama's homemade dress
Papa's (D major) bank book wasn't big enough

Chorus 1
And (E major) I was standin' on the (F sharp minor) side of the road
Rain (A major) fallin' on my shoes (D major)
(E major) Heading out for the east (F sharp minor) coast
Lord (A major) knows I've paid some dues (D major)
Gettin' (E major) through, (G major) tangled (D major) up in blue
Interlude 1
(A major) (A major)
(A major) (A major)
Verse 2
(A major) She was married when we first met
(A major) Soon to be divorced bed
(A major) I helped her out of a jam I guess
But I (D major) used a little too much force
We (A major) drove that car as far as we could
Abandoned (A major) it out west
(A major) Split up on a dark sad night
Both agreeing (D major) it was best
Chorus 2
(E major) She turned around to (F sharp minor) look at me
As (A major) I was walkin' away (D major)
(E major) I heard her say over my (F sharp minor) shoulder
We'll (A major) meet again some (D major) day
On the avenue, (E major) (G major) tangled (D major) up in blue
Interlude 2
(A major) (A major)
(A major) (A major)
Verse 3
(A major) I had a job in the great north woods
(A major) Working as a cook for a spell
But I (A major) never did like it all that much
And one (D major) day the axe just fell
So I (A major) drifted down to New Orleans
Where I was (A major) looking for to be employed
(A major) Workin' for a while on a fishin' boat
Right outside (D major) of Delacroix
Chorus 3
(E major) But all the while I (F sharp minor) was alone
The (A major) past was close behind (D major)
(E major) I seen a lot of women (F sharp minor)
But she (A major) never escaped my mind (D major)
And I just (E major) grew, (G major) tangled (D major) up in blue
Interlude 3
(A major) (A major)
(A major) (A major)
Verse 4
(A major) She was workin' in a topless place
And I stopped (A major) in for a beer
I (A major) just kept lookin' at the side of her face
In the (D major) spotlight so clear
And (A major) later on as the crowd thinned out
I´m (A major) just about to do the same
She was (A major) standing there in back of my chair
Said (D major) to me, "Don't I know your name?"
Chorus 4
I muttered (E major) somethin' under (F sharp minor) neath my breath
She (A major) studied the lines on my (D major) face
I (E major) must admit I felt a (F sharp minor) little uneasy
When she (A major) bent down to tie the laces (D major)
Of my shoe, (E major) (G major) tangled (D major) up in blue
Interlude 4
(A major) (A major)
(A major) (A major)
Verse 5
(A major) She lit a burner on the stove
And (A major) offered me a pipe
I (A major) thought you'd never say hello, she said
You (D major) look like the silent type
Then she (A major) opened up a book of poems
And (A major) handed it to me
(A major) Written by an Italian poet
From the (D major) thirteenth century
Chorus 5
And (E major) everyone of them words (F sharp minor) rang true
And (A major) glowed like burnin' coal (D major)
(E major) Pourin' off of (F sharp minor) every page
Like it (A major) was written in my soul (D major)
From me to (E major) you, (G major) tangled (D major) up in blue
Interlude 5
(A major) (A major)
(A major) (A major)
Verse 6
I (A major) lived with them on Montague Street
In a (A major) basement down the stairs
There was (A major) music in the cafés at night
And revo (D major) lution in the air
Then (A major) he started into dealing with slaves
And (A major) something inside of him died
(A major) She had to sell everything she owned
And (D major) froze up inside
Chorus 6
And (E major) when finally the (F sharp minor) bottom fell out
(A major) I became withdrawn (D major)
The (E major) only thing I knew (F sharp minor) how to do
Was to (A major) keep on keepin' on (D major)
Like a bird that (E major) flew, (G major) tangled (D major) up in blue
Interlude 6
(A major) (A major)
(A major) (A major)
Verse 7
So (A major) now I'm goin' back again
I got to (A major) get to her somehow
(A major) All the people we used to know
They're an il (D major) lusion to me now
(A major) Some are mathematicians
(A major) Some are carpenters' wives
Don't (A major) know how it all got started
I don't know (D major) what they're doin' with their lives
Chorus 7
But (E major) me, I'm still (F sharp minor) on the road
(A major) Headin' for another joint (D major)
(E major) We always did (F sharp minor) feel the same
We just (A major) saw it from a different (D major) point of (E major) view
(G major) Tangled (D major) up in blue
