Description

Take a deep breath. Resort to earlier songs with sheet music or not. Do your best. Do not get tangled up in blue. Bob Dylan.

Standard tuning, capo 2nd fret (sounding key A major). Since Larry Campbell joined the band in 1997, Tangled has been played as an acoustic song, with Larry playing the intro below. Larry's guitar is played with a capo on the 2nd fret, Bob's guitar is uncapoed. The chords are more or less those of the Blood on the Tracks version above.

Just because a song happens to be played in the key of Eb major, doesn't mean that it has to be tabbed in that key, when it is actually played in "C major" with a capo on the third fret.

[one verse guitar intro]



Evii                  Dv

Early one mornin' the sun was shinin',

Evii               Dv

he was layin' in bed

Evii               Dv

Wond'rin' if she'd changed at all

      E        B(ii)  A

If her hair was still red.

Evii                      Dv

Her folks they said their lives together

Evii              Dv

Sure was gonna be rough

    Evii                  Dv

They never did like Mama's homemade dress

      E               B(ii)    A

Papa's bankbook wasn't big enough.

   F#m                    C#m

And he was standin' on the side of the road

E            B(ii)      A

Rain fallin' on his shoes

F#m                 C#m

Heading out for the East Coast

    E          B(ii)     A            B11

Lord knows he's paid some dues gettin' through,

Emaj7/b  B11       E

Tangled up in blue.

She was married when they first met,

Soon to be divorced.

He helped her out of a jam, I guess,

But he used a little too much force.

They drove that car as far as we could

Abandoned it out West

Split up on a dark sad night

Both agreeing it was best.

She turned around to look at him

As he was walkin' away

she said: "This can't be the end,                    . . . this ain't the end,

We'll meet on another day, on the avenue,"           We'll meet again some day . . .
