Side Note: I left out the intro and outro. The intro is the exact same thing as the verses without the
lyrics, the outro is also the same but with a harmonica played in A. Hope you enjoy!

Tangled Up in Blue (Take 3, Remake 3)
Verse 1
(Riff)
Early one morning the sun was shining
(Riff)
and he was laying in bed
(Riff)
Wondering if she'd changed at all
If her ha
ir
was s
till red
(Riff)
Her folks they said their lives together
(Riff)
Sure was going to be rough
(Riff)
They never did like Mama's homemade dress
Papa's bank
book
wasn't
big enough
And
he was standing on the
side of the road
R
ain f
alling on
his shoes
He
ading out for the
old East Coast
Lord kn
ows h
e's paid
some dues
Getting th
rough
Ta
ngled
up in b
lue
Verse 2
(Riff)
She was married when they first met
(Riff)
Soon to be divorced
(Riff)
He helped her out of a jam, I guess
But he us
ed a
little too
much force
(Riff)
And he drove that car as far as they could
(Riff)
Abandoned it out West
(Riff)
And split up on a dark sad night
Both agr
eeing
it was
best
And
she turned around to
look at him
As
he was w
alking
away
And
she said "This can't
be the end
we'll me
et on a
nother
day
On the av
enue"
Ta
ngled
up in b
lue
Verse 3
(Riff)
He had a job in the great north woods
(Riff)
Working as a cook for a spell
(Riff)
But he never liked it all that much
And one d
ay the
ax just
fell
(Riff)
So he drifted down to L.A.
(Riff)
Where he reckoned to try his luck
(Riff)
Working for a while in an airplane plant
Loading ca
rgo
onto a t
ruck
But
all the while he was
alone
The p
ast was
close b
ehind
He'd
seen a lot of w
omen
But she ne
ver e
scaped his
mind
And he just
grew
Ta
ngled
up in b
lue
Verse 4
(Riff)
She was working in a topless place
(Riff)
And I stopped in for a beer
(Riff)
I just kept looking at the side of her face
In the spot
ligh
t, so c
lear
(Riff)
And later on, when the crowd thinned out
(Riff)
I was about to do the same
(Riff)
She was standing there, in back of my chair
Said "te
ll me
what's
your name?"
I mu
ttered something under
neath my breath
She stu
died the
lines of my
face
I
must admit, I felt a li
ttle uneasy
When she b
ent down
to tie th
e laces
Of my s
hoes
Ta
ngled
up in b
lue
Verse 5
(Riff)
She lit a burner on the stove
(Riff)
And offered me a pipe
(Riff)
"I thought you'd never say hello" she said
"You lo
ok
like the s
ilent type"
(Riff)
And she opened up a book of poems
(Riff)
And handed it to me
(Riff)
Written by an Italian poet
From t
he th
irteenth ce
ntury
And e
very one of them w
ords rang true
And gl
owed like b
urning
coal
Po
uring off of e
very page
Like it was wr
itten
in my
soul
From me to
you
Ta
ngled

blu
e
Verse 6
(Riff)
He was always in a hurry
(Riff)
Too busy or too stoned
(Riff)
And everything that she ever planned
Just h
ad to
be post
poned
(Riff)
He thought they were successful
(Riff)
She thought they were blessed
(Riff)
With objects and material things
But I ne
ver
was imp
ressed
And
when it all came cr
ashing down
I bec
ame with
drawn
The
only thing I knew
how to do
Was
keep
on keep
ing on
Like a bird that
flew
Ta
ngled
up in b
lue
Verse 7
(Riff)
So now I'm going back again
(Riff)
Got to get to her somehow
(Riff)
All the people we used to know
They're an ill
usion
to me
now
(Riff)
Some are mathematicians
(Riff)
Some are doctor's wives
(Riff)
Don't know how it all got started
Don't know wh
at th
ey're do
ing with their lives
But
me, I'm still
on the road
Heading f
or an
other jo
int
We
always did feel the
same
We just s
aw it
from a
different point
Of
view
