Guitar 2: Acoustic


[Verse 1]
D                     Dsus
Early one morning the sun was shining
D              Dsus
I was layin’ in bed
D                  Dsus
Wonderin’ if she'd changed at all
       G
If her hair still was red
D                   Dsus
Her folks said our lives together 
D                 Dsus
Sure was gonna be rough
D                            Dsus
They never did like momma’s homemade dress
       G
Papa’s bankbook wasn’t big enough

***NOTE-one strum for each chord***

    A                     Bm
And I was standing at the side of the road
    D                  G
The rain fallin’ on my shoes
A                   Bm              D                    G
Heading out for the east coast lord knows I’ve paid some dues
        A
Getting through
G       A      D  Dsus4 D Dsus4
Tangled up in blue


[Verse 2]
D                    Dsus
She was married when we first meet
D          Dsus
Soon to be divorced
  D                   Dsus
I helped her out of a jam I guess
      G
But I used a little too much force
   D                 Dsus   
We drove that car as far as we could
    D                Dsus
And abandoned it out West
D             Dsus
Split up on a dark sad night
      G
Both agreeing it was best
A                    Bm
She turned around to look at me
D                G
As I was walking away
  A                  Bm          
I heard her say over my shoulder
       D           G             A
"We'll meet again someday on the avenue"
G       A      D  Dsus4 D Dsus4
Tangled up in blue


[Verse 3]
    D                  Dsus
And I had a job in the great north woods
D                       Dsus
Working as a cook for a spell
D                       Dsus
But I never did like it all that much
        G
And one day the ax just fell
     D               Dsus
So I drifted down to New Orleans
      D                  Dsus
I was lucky 'nough to be employed
D                        Dsus
Working for a while on a fishing boat
      G
Right out by the Delacroix
    A               Bm
But all the while I was alone 
D                  G
The past was close behind
  A             Bm          
I seen a lot of women
       D                 G                  A
But she never escaped my mind, my love just grew
G       A      D  Dsus4 D Dsus4
Tangled up in blue


[Verse 4]
D                     Dsus
She was working in a topless place
    D                  Dsus
And I stopped in for a beer
D                            Dsus
Couldn't stop looking at her side of her face
       G
In the spotlight so clear
    D                 Dsus
And later on when the crowd thinned out
    D                     Dsus
And I was 'bout to do the same
    D                    Dsus
She came up behind me in back of my chair
      G
Said "Tell me, don't I know your name?"
A                    Bm
I muttered something underneath my breath
     D                      G
She studied the lines on my face
A                   Bm          
Must admit I felt a little uneasy
         D                    G           A
When she bent down to tie the laces of my shoe
G       A      D  Dsus4 D Dsus4
Tangled up in blue


[Verse 5]
D                Dsus
She lit a burner on the stove 
    D            Dsus
and offered me a pipe
   D                       Dsus
"I thought you'd never say hello", she said
     G
"You look like the silent type"
D                    Dsus
Then she opened up a book of poems
D                Dsus
And handed it to me
D                     Dsus
Written by an Italian poet
       G  
In the thirteenth century
    A                 Bm
And every one of them words rang true
    D                   G
And burned like burning coal
A              Bm          
Pouring out of every page
            D             G               A
Like it was written in my soul from me to you
G       A      D  Dsus4 D Dsus4
Tangled up in blue


[Verse 6]
D                    Dsus
I lived with them on Montague Street
     D                 Dsus
In a basement down the stairs
          D        Dsus    
There was music in cafes at night
    G
And revolution in the air
    D           Dsus
But he got into dealing with slaves
    D                       Dsus
And something inside of him died
D                    Dsus
She had to sell everything she owned
       G  
And froze up inside
A                 Bm
And then when the bottom fell out 
D            G
I became withdrawn
    A                 Bm          
The only thing I knew how to do
       D               G                   A
Was to keep on keeping on like a bird that flew
G       A      D  Dsus4 D Dsus4
Tangled up in blue


[Verse 7]
        D              Dsus
Oh, and now I'm going back again
         D       Dsus
I got to get her somehow
    D                 Dsus
And all the people we knew back then,
           G
They're an illusion to me now
D        Dsus
Some were mathematicians
D                     Dsus
Some were carpenter's wives
      D                   Dsus
Don't know how it all got started
        G  
I don't know what they're doing with their lives
    A            Bm
But me I'm still on the road
D                   G
Looking for another joint
   A          Bm          
We always did feel the same
        D                       G        A
We just saw it from a different point of view
G       A      D  Dsus4 D Dsus4
Tangled up in Blue
