Cadd9- 032030
[Intro]
D[a Cadd9bunch Dof Cadd9times]
DEarly one morning the Cadd9sun was shining DI was layin’ in Cadd9bed
DWonderin’ if she'd Cadd9changed at all If her Ghair still was red
DHer folks said our lCadd9ives together DSure was gonna be Cadd9rough
DThey never did like momma’s Cadd9homemade dress Papa’s Gbankbook wasn’t big enough
And I Awas standing at the sBmide of the road rain Dfallin’ on my shoesG  
AHeaded out for the eBmast coast lord kDnows I’ve paid some dGues
Getting Athrough A7TCadd9angled uGp in bDlueCadd9  D  Cadd9  
[Verse 2]
DShe was married when Cadd9we first meet DSoon to be Cadd9divorced
I Dhelped her out of a Cadd9jam I guess But I used a Glittle too much force
We dDrove that car as fCadd9ar as we could and Dabandoned it out Cadd9West
DSplit up on a Cadd9dark sad night Both aGgreeing it was best
AShe turned around amd Bmlooked at me As DI was walking Gaway
I Aheard her say over Bmmy shoulder We'll Dmeet again sGomeday
on the Aavenue A7  Cadd9Tangled Gup in DbluCadd9eD  Cadd9  Cadd9  D  Cadd9  
[Verse 3]
And DI had a job in the Cadd9great north woods DWorking as a cook for a Cadd9spell
DBut I never did like it Cadd9all that much And one Gday the ax just fell
So I Ddrifted down to Cadd9New Orleans I was Dlucky 'nough to be Cadd9employed
DWorking for a while on a Cadd9fishing boat Right Gout by the Delacroix
But Aall the while I Bmwas alone DThe past was close Gbehind
I Aseen a lot of Bmwomen but she Dnever escaped my Gmind
And love just Agrew A7  Cadd9Tangled Gup in DbluCadd9eD  Cadd9  Cadd9  D  Cadd9  
[Verse 4]
DShe was workin' in a Cadd9topless place and DI stopped in for a Cadd9beer
DCouldn't stop lookin' at thCadd9e side of her face in the Gspot-light so clear
DLater on when the cCadd9rowd thinned out and DI was 'bout to do the Cadd9same
DShe camem up behind Cadd9me in the back of Dmy chair sayin' Gtell me don't I know your name
AI muttered something Bmunderneath my breath She Dstudied the lines on my Gface
MAust admit I felt a lBmittle uneasy WDhen she bent down to tie the Glaces
of my AshoA7e Cadd9Tangled Gup in DbluCadd9eD  Cadd9  Cadd9  D  Cadd9  
[Verse 5]
DShe lit a burner Cadd9on the stove and Doffered me a Cadd9pipe
DI thought you'd never say Cadd9hello she said You Glook like the silent type
DThen she opened up a Cadd9book of poems DAnd handed it to Cadd9me
DWritten by an Italian Cadd9poet In the Gthirteenth century
And Aevery one of them Bmwords rang Dtrue And burned lGike burning coal
APouring out of Bmevery page Like it was Dwritten in my Gsoul
from me to Ayou A7  Cadd9Tangled Gup in Dbl-Cadd9---ue D  Cadd9yeaaah Cadd9mamaD  Cadd9  
[Verse 6]
DI lived with them on Cadd9Montague Street In a Dbasement down the Cadd9stairs
There was Dmusic in Cadd9cafes at night And Grevolution in the air
But Dhe got into Cadd9dealing with slaves And Dsomething inside of him Cadd9died
DShe had to sell everyCadd9thing she owned And just Gfroze up inside
AAnd then when the Bmbottom fell out DI became withGdrawn
The Aonly thing I knew Bmhow to do Was to Dkeep on keeping Gon
like a bird that AfleA7w Cadd9Tangled Gup in Dbl-Cadd9--ueD  Cadd9  Cadd9  D  Cadd9  
[Verse 7]
Oh, and Dnow I'm going bCadd9ack again I got to Dget her Cadd9somehow
And Dall the people we Cadd9knew back then, They're an Gillusion to me now
DSome were Cadd9mathematicians DSome were carpenter's Cadd9wives
Don't Dknow how it all got Cadd9started I don't Gknow what they're doing with their lives
But Ame I'm still Bmon the road DLooking for another Gjoint
We Aalways did Bmfeel the same We just Dsaw it from a different Gpoint
of Aview A7  Cadd9Tangled Gup in DBl-Cadd9--ue D[aCadd9ssorted vocalizations]
