^GEarly one mornin' the ^Fmaj7sun was shinin', ^GI was layin' in bed^Fmaj7 ^GWonderin' if she'd ^Fmaj7changed at all If her ^Chair was still red. ^GHer folks they said our ^Fmaj7lives together ^GSure was gonna be ^Fmaj7rough ^GThey never did like Mama's ^Fmaj7homemade dress Papa's ^Cbankbook wasn't big enough.

[Chorus]

^D/F#Me, I was standin' on the ^Emside of the road ^GRain fallin' on my ^Cshoes ^D/F#Headin' out for the ^EmEast Coast Lord ^Gknows I've paid some ^Cdues gettin' ^D/F#through, ^Fmaj7Tangled ^Cup in ^Gblue.^Am7/G ^G ^Am7/G

[Verse 2]

^GShe was married when ^Fmaj7we first met ^GSoon to be divorce^Fmaj7d ^GI helped her out of a ^Fmaj7jam, I guess, But I ^Cused a little too much force. We ^Gdrove that car as ^Fmaj7far as we could A^Gbandoned it out ^Fmaj7West ^GSplit up on a sad ^Fmaj7dark night Both a^Cgreeing it is best.

[Chorus]

^D/F#She turned around to ^Emlook at me As ^GI was walkin' a^Cway I ^D/F#heard her say over my ^Emshoulder, We'll ^Gmeet again some^Cday on the ave^D/F#nue ^Fmaj7Tangled ^Cup in ^Gblue.^Am7/G ^G ^Am7/G

[Verse 3]

^GI was livin' in the ^Fmaj7great north woods ^GWorking as a cook for a ^Fmaj7spell ^GBut I never did like it ^Fmaj7all that much And one ^Cday the axe just fell So I ^Gdrifted down to ^Fmaj7New Orleans Where I ^Ghappened to be em^Fmaj7ployed ^GWorkin' for a while on a ^Fmaj7fishin' boat Right out^Cside of Delacroix.

[Chorus]

^D/F#But all the while I ^Emwas alone The ^Gpast was close be^Chind, I ^D/F#seen a lot of wome^Emn But she ^Gnever escaped my ^Cmind, and I just ^D/F#grew ^Fmaj7Tangled ^Cup in ^Gblue.^Am7/G ^G ^Am7/G

[Verse 4]

^GShe was workin' in a ^Fmaj7topless bar And ^GI stopped in for a ^Fmaj7beer, I ^Gjust kept lookin' at the ^Fmaj7side of her face In the ^Cspotlight so clear. And ^Glater on as the ^Fmaj7crowd thinned out And I was ^Gjust about to do the ^Fmaj7same, She was ^Gstanding there in ^Fmaj7back of my chair She said; "^CDon't I know your name?"

[Chorus]

I ^D/F#muttered somethin' under^Emneath my breath, She ^Gstudied the lines on my ^Cface. I ^D/F#must admit I felt a ^Emlittle uneasy When she ^Gbent down to tie the ^Claces of my ^D/F#shoes ^Fmaj7Tangled ^Cup in ^Gblue.^Am7/G ^G I ^Am7/Gknow.. I know.. I know..

^GShe lit a burner ^Fmaj7on the stove and ^Goffered me a pi^Fmaj7pe ^G"I thought you'd never ^Fmaj7say hello," she said "You ^Clook like the silent type." Then she ^Gopened up a book of ^Fmaj7poems And ^Ghanded it to me^Fmaj7 ^GWritten by an Italian ^Fmaj7poet From the ^Cthirteenth century.

[Chorus]

And ^D/F#every one of them ^Emwords rang true And ^Gglowed like burnin' ^Ccoal ^D/F#Pourin' off of e^Emvery page Like it was ^Gwritten in my ^Csoul from me to ^D/F#you, ^Fmaj7Tangled ^Cup in ^Gblue.^Am7/G ^G ^Am7/G

^G5 I lived with them on ^C5Montague Street ^G5 In a basement down the ^C5stairs, ^G5 There was music in the cafe^C5s at night And ^D5revolution in the air. ^G5 Then he started into ^C5dealing with slaves ^G5 And something inside of him die^C5d. She ^G5had to sell every^C5thing she owned And ^G5froze... up in^C5side.

[Chorus]

^D/F#And when finally the ^Embottom fell out ^G I became with^Cdrawn, ^D/F# The only thing I knew how to ^Emdo Was to ^Gkeep on keepin' ^Con like a bird that ^D/F#flew, ^Fmaj7Tangled ^Cup in ^Gblue...^N.C. ohhh.. yeah..

[Interlude] G Am7/G G Am7/G G Am7/G G Am7/G [Verse 7]

^G So now I'm goin' back a^Fmaj7gain, I got to ^Gget to her some^Fmaj7how. ^GAll the people we ^Fmaj7used to know They're an ^Cillusion to me now. ^GSome are mathema^Fmaj7ticians ^GSome are carpenter's ^Fmaj7wives. Don't ^Gknow how they all got ^Fmaj7started, I don't ^Cknow what they're doin' with their lives.

[Chorus]

^D/F#But me, I'm still ^Emon the road ^GHeadin' for another ^Cjoint ^D/F#We always did ^Emfeel the same, We just ^Gsaw it from a different ^Cpoint of ^D/F#view, ^Fmaj7Tangled ^Cup in ^Gblue.^Am7/G ^G I ^Am7/Gknow.. I know.. I know..
