^AEarly one mornin’ the ^Gsus2sun was shinin’ ^AI was layin’ in ^Gsus2bed ^AWond’rin’ if she’d ^Gsus2changed at all If her ^Dhair was still red ^AHer folks they said our ^Gsus2lives together ^ASure was gonna be ^Gsus2rough They ^Anever did like Mama’s ^Gsus2homemade dress Papa’s ^Dbankbook wasn’t big enough And ^EI was standin’ on the ^F#mside of the road ^ARain fallin’ on my ^Dshoes ^EHeading out for the ^F#mEast Coast Lord ^Aknows I’ve paid some ^Ddues gettin’ ^Ethrough ^GTangled ^Dup in ^Ablue

^AShe was married when ^Gsus2we first met ^A Soon to be di^Gsus2vorced ^A I helped her out of a ^Gsus2jam, I guess But I ^Dused a little too much force We ^Adrove that car as ^Gsus2far as we could A^Abandoned it out ^Gsus2West ^A Split up on a ^Gsus2dark sad night Both a^Dgreeing it was best She ^Eturned around to ^F#mlook at me As ^AI was walkin’ a^Dway ^E I heard her say over ^F#mmy shoulder “We’ll ^Ameet again some^Dday on the ave^Enue” ^GTangled ^Dup in ^Ablue

^AI had a job in the ^Gsus2great north woods ^AWorking as a cook for a ^Gsus2spell But I ^Anever did like it ^Gsus2all that much And one ^Dday the ax just fell So I ^Adrifted down to ^Gsus2New Orleans Where I ^Ahappened to be em^Gsus2ployed ^AWorkin’ for a while on a ^Gsus2fishin’ boat Right ^Doutside of Delacroix But ^Eall the while I ^F#mwas alone The ^Apast was close be^Dhind I ^Eseen a lot of ^F#mwomen But she ^Anever escaped my ^Dmind, and I just ^Egrew ^GTangled ^Dup in ^Ablue

^AShe was workin’ in a ^Gsus2topless place And ^AI stopped in for a ^Gsus2beer I ^Ajust kept lookin’ at the ^Gsus2side of her face In the ^Dspotlight so clear And ^Alater on when the ^Gsus2crowd thinned out I’s ^Ajust about to do the ^Gsus2same She was ^Astanding there in ^Gsus2back of my chair Said to ^Dme, “Don’t I know your name?” I ^Emuttered somethin’ under^F#mneath my breath She ^Astudied the lines on my ^Dface I ^Emust admit I felt a ^F#mlittle uneasy When she ^Abent down to tie the ^Dlaces of my ^Eshoe ^GTangled ^Dup in ^Ablue

^AShe lit a burner ^Gsus2on the stove ^A And offered me a ^Gsus2pipe ^A“I thought you’d never say hel^Gsus2lo,” she said “You ^Dlook like the silent type” Then she ^Aopened up a ^Gsus2book of poems And ^Ahanded it to ^Gsus2me ^AWritten by an I^Gsus2talian poet From the ^Dthirteenth century And ^Eevery one of them ^F#mwords rang true And ^Aglowed like burnin’ ^Dcoal ^EPourin’ off of ^F#mevery page Like it was ^Awritten in my ^Dsoul from me to ^Eyou ^GTangled ^Dup in ^Ablue

I ^Alived with them on ^Gsus2Montague Street In a ^Abasement down the ^Gsus2stairs There was ^Amusic in the ca^Gsus2fés at night And revo^Dlution in the air Then ^Ahe started into ^Gsus2dealing with slaves And ^Asomething inside of him ^Gsus2died She ^Ahad to sell every^Gsus2thing she owned And^D froze up inside And when ^Efinally the ^F#mbottom fell out ^AI became with^Ddrawn The ^Eonly thing I knew ^F#mhow to do Was to ^Akeep on keepin’ ^Don like a bird that ^Eflew ^GTangled ^Dup in ^Ablue

So ^Anow I’m goin’ ^Gsus2back again I got to ^Aget to her some^Gsus2how ^AAll the people we ^Gsus2used to know They’re an il^Dlusion to me now ^ASome are mathema^Gsus2ticians ^ASome are carpenters’ ^Gsus2wives Don’t ^Aknow how it all got ^Gsus2started I don’t know what they’re ^Ddoin’ with their lives But ^Eme, I’m ^F#mstill on the road ^AHeadin’ for another ^Djoint ^EWe always did ^F#mfeel the same We just ^Asaw it from a different ^Dpoint of ^Eview ^GTangled ^Dup in ^Ablue
