Couplet:

 A                     G6/G
Early one morning' the sun was shining,
 A               G6/G
I was laying in bed
 A                G6/G
Wondering if she'd changed at all
D
if her hair was still red

Her folks they said our lives together
Sure was gonna be rough
They never did like Mama's homemade dress
Papa's bankbook wasn't big enough.

Refrein:

E                     F#m
And I was standing on the side of the road
A                  D
rain falling on my shoes
E                   F#m
Heading out for the East Coast

Lord knows I've paid some dues getting through,

Couplet:

She was married when we first met
Soon to be divorced
I helped her out of a jam I guess
But I used a little too much force

We drove that car as far as we could
Abandoned it out west
Split up on a sad dark night
Both agreeing it was best

Refrein:

She turned around to look at me
As I was walking away
I heard her say over her shoulder
We'll meet again some day
On the avenue
Tangled up in Blue

Couplet:

I had a job in the great north woods
Working as a cook for a spell
But I never did like it all that  much
And one day the axe just fell

So I drifted down to New Orleans
Where I was lucky to be employed
Workin' for a while on a fishing boat
Right outside of Delacroix

Refrein:

But all the while I was alone
The past was close behind
I seen alot of women
But she never escaped my mind
And I just grew
Tangled up in blue

Couplet:

She was working in topless place
And I stopped in for a beer
I just kept looking at the side of her face
In the spotlight so clear

And later on when the crowd thinned out
I was just about to do the same
She was standing there in back of my chair
Said to me Don't I know your name

Refrein:

I muttered something undernaeth my breath
She studdied the lines on my face
I must admit I felt a little uneasy
When she bent down to tie the laces
Of my shoe
Tangled up in blue

Couplet:

She lit a burner on the stove
And offered me a pipe
I thought you'd never say hello she said
You look like the silent type

Then open up a book of poems
And handed it to me
Written by an Italian poet
From the thirteenth century

Refrein:

And every one of them words rang true
And glowed like burning coal
Pouring' off of every page
Like it was written in my soul
From me to you
Tangled up in blue

Couplet:

I lived with them on Montague Street
In a basement down the stairs
There was music in the cafes at night
And revolution in the air

Then he started dealing in slaves
And something inside of died
She had to sell everything she owned
And froze up inside.

Refrein:

And when the bottom finally feel out
I became withdrawn
The only thing I knew how to do
Was to keep on keeping on
Like a bird that flew
Tangled up in blue

Couplet:

So now I'm going on back again
I got to get to her some how
All the people we used to know
They're an illusion to me now

Some are mathematicians
Some are carpenters wives
Don'ty know how it all got started
I don't know what they're doing with their lives

Refrein:

But me, I'm still on the road
Headin' for another joint
We always did feel the same
We just saw it from a different point
Of view
Tangled up in blue
