Verse 1
(G major) (F major) (Gsus4) (G major) (F major) (G major) Early one
morning the sun was shin (Gsus4) ing
(G major) I was laying in bed (F major)
(G major) Wondering if she'd changed it all
(Gsus4) If her (C major) hair was still red
(G major) Her folks they said our lives to (Gsus4) gether
(G major) Sure was gonna be rough
(D minor) They (G major) never did like Mama's
homemade dress
Papa's (C major) bankbook wasn't big enough
And (D major) I was standing on
the (E minor) side of the road
(G major) Rain falling on my (C major) shoes
(D major) Heading out for the (E minor) East Coast
Lord (G major) knows I've paid some (C major) dues
Getting (D major) through
Tangled (C major) up in (G major) blue (Gsus4)
(G major) (F major) (D minor)
Verse 2
(G major) She was married when we (F major) first (Gsus4) meet
(G major) Soon to be divorced (F major) (D minor)
(G major) I helped her out of a jam I guess
(F major) But I (C major) used a little too much force
We (G major) drove that car as far
as we could (Gsus4)
(G major) Abandoned it out West
Split it up on a dark sad night
Both (C major) agreeing it was best
(D major) She turned around to (E minor) look at me
As (G major) I was walking away (C major)
(D major) I heard her say (E minor) over my shoulder
"We'll (G major) meet again someday (C major)
on the aven (D major) ue"
Tangled (C major) up in (G major) blue (Gsus4)
(G major) (Gsus4) (G major) (D minor)

Verse 3
(G major) I had a job in the great north (Gsus4) woods
(G major) Working as a cook for a spell
(Gsus4) But I (G major) never did like it all that much
(F major) And one (C major) day the ax just fell
So I (G major) drifted down to New Orleans
(Gsus4) I (G major) looking to be
employed (Gsus4)
(G major) Working for a while on a fishing boat
Right out (C major) side of Delacroix
But (D major) all the while I (E minor) was alone
The (G major) past was close behind
(C major) (D major) I've seen a lot of (E minor) women
But she (G major) never escaped my
(C major) mind and I just (D major) grew
Tangled (C major) up in (G major) blue (F major) (G major) (D minor)
Verse 4
(G major) She was working in a (F major) topless place (Gsus4)
(G major) I stopped in for a beer (Gsus4)
I (G major) just kept looking at her side of her face
In the (C major) spotlight so clear
(G major) Later on as the crowd thinned out
I's just about to do the same
(D minor) She was (G major) standing there in
the back of my chair
(F major) Said tell me (C major) "Don't I know your name?"
(D major) I muttered something
under (E minor) neath my breath
She (G major) studied the lines on my (C major) face
I (D major) must admit I felt a (E minor) little uneasy
When she (G major) bent down to tie
the lace (C major) of my (D major) shoe
Tangled (F major) (C major) up in blue (G major) (Gsus4)
(G major) (Gsus4) (G major)
Verse 5
(D minor) She (G major) lit a burner on the stove (Gsus4)
and (G major) offered me a pipe (F major)
"I (G major) thought you'd never
say hel (F major) lo" she said
"You (C major) look like the silent type"
Then (G major) she opened up a book of poems
And she handed it to me (Gsus4)
(G major) Written by an Italian poet
From the (C major) fifteenth century
And (D major) every one of them (E minor) words rang true
And (G major) glowed like burning (C major) coal
(D major) Pouring off of (E minor) every page
Like it was (G major) written in my soul (C major)
from me to (D major) you
(F major) Tangled (G major) up in blue
(F major) (G major) (F major) (G major)
Verse 6
(F major)
I (G major) lived with them down on
(F major) Montague (Gsus4) Street
In a (G major) basement down the stairs
(D minor) There was (G major) music in the cafes at night
(Gsus4) And re (C major) volution in the air
Then (G major) he started into
dealing with slaves
(Gsus4) And (G major) something inside
of him died (Gsus4)
(G major) She had to sell everything she owned
And (C major) froze up inside
And (D major) when finally the bot (E minor) tom fell out
(G major) I became with (C major) drawn
The (D major) only thing I knew (E minor) how to do
Was to (G major) keep on keeping (C major) on
like a bird that (D major) flew
Tangled (F major) (C major) up in blue
(G major) (Gsus4) (G major)
(Gsus4) (G major) (Gsus4)
Verse 7
(G major) (F major)
So (G major) now I'm going back again
(Gsus4) I got to (G major) get her somehow
(Gsus4) (G major) All the people we
used to know
(F major) They're an (C major) il lusion to me now
(G major) Some are mathematicians
(Gsus4) (G major) Some are carpenter's wives
(Gsus4) Don't (G major) know how it all got started
(F major) I don't (C major) what they're
doing with their lives
(D major) Me I'm still (E minor) on the road
(G major) Heading for another (C major) joint
(D major) We always did (E minor) feel the same
We just (G major) saw it from a different
(C major) point of (D major) view
Tangled (F major) up (C major) in blue
Outro 1
(G major) (F major) (G major) (Gsus4)
(G major) (F major) (G major)
