Verse 1
G
Early one mornin' the
sun was shinin'
A
G
He was layin' in bed
A
G
Wondering if she changed at all,
D
Bm
if her hair was still red
A
G
The folks they sent into lives together
A
G
sure was gonna be rough
A
They never did like Mama's
G
homemade dress,
D
Bm
Papa's banquet wasn't big enough
E
And he was standing on
D
the side of the road,
rain falling on his shoes
E
D
Heading out for the old east coast
E
D
Radio blastin' the news
Bm
Straight on through
A
D
A
D
A
Tangled up in blue
G
She was married when they first met
A
G
To a man four times her age
A
G
He left her penniless in a state of regret
D
Bm
It was time to bust out of the cage
A
And they drove that car
G
as far as they could
A
G
Abandoned it out west
A
G
Splitting up on a dock set night
D
Both agreeing that it was best
Bm
E
D
She turned around to look at him
E
D
As he was walking away
E
D
Saying, I wish I could tell you all the things
E
D
That I never learned how to say
He said, that's all right,
Bm
baby, I love you, too
A
D
A
D
A
But we were tangled up in blue
He had a steady job and a
G
pretty face
A
G
And everything seemed to fit
A
G
One day he could just feel the weight
D
Bm
He put it all down and split
A
G
And he drifted down to
New Orleans
A
G
where they treated him like a boy
A
G
He nearly went mad in Baton Rouge,
D
Bm
he nearly drowned in Delacroix
E
D
All the while he was alone,
A
D
the past was close behind
E
D
He had one too many lovers
A
E
D
and none of them were too refined
All except for you
Bm
But you were tangled up
A
D
A
D
A
in the loop
G
She was working in the blinding light
A
G
And I stopped in for a drink
A
G
I just kept looking at her face so white
D
Bm
I didn't know what to think
A
G
Later on when the crowd thinned out
A
G
I was getting ready to leave
A
She was standing there right
G
beside my chair,
D
Bm
I said, what's that you got up your sleeve?
E
D
I said nothing baby, and that's for sure
E
D
She leaned down into my face
E
D
I could feel the heat and the pulse of her
A
E
And she bent down to tie the
D
Bm
laces of my shoe
A
D
A
D
A
Tangled up in blue
G
I lived with him on Montague Street
A
G
in a basement down the stairs
A
G
There was snow all winter and no heat
D
Bm
The revolution was in the air
A
G
One day all of his slaves ran free
E
G
Something inside of them died
A
G
The only thing I could do was be me
D
Bm
And get on that train and ride
Yeah
E
And when
