	A	G
	Early one morning the	sun was shinin'

	A	G
	I was layin' in	bed.

	A	G
	Wondering if she'd	changed at all

	D
If her	hair was still red.

	A	G
	Her folks said our	lives together,

	A	G
	Sure was gonna be	rough.

	A	G
They	never did like Mama's	home-made dress,

	D
Papa's	bank book wasn't big enough.

	E	F#m
And	I was standing on the	side of the road,

	A	D
	Rain falling on my	shoes.

	E	F#m
	Heading out for the	east coast,

	A	D
Lord	knows I've paid some	dues,

	E
Getting	through,

	A	G
	She was married when	we first met

	A	G
	Soon to be di-	vorced

	A	G
I	helped her out of a	jam I guess

	D
But I	used a little too much force

	A	G
We	drove that car as	far as we could

	A	G
A-	bandoned it out	west

	A	G
	Split up on a	dark sad night

	D
Both a-	greeing it was best

	E	F#m
	She turned around to	look at me

	A	D
As	I was walking a-	way

	E	F#m
I	heard her say over	my shoulder

	A	D
We'll	meet again some	day

	E
On the ave-	nue

	A	G
	I had a job in the	great north woods

	A	G
	Working as a cook for a	spell

	A	G
But I	never did like it	all that  much

	D
And one	day the axe just fell

	A	G
So I	drifted down to	New Orleans

	A	G
Where I was	lucky to be em-	ployed

	A	G
	Workin' for a while on a	fishing boat

	D
Right	outside of Delacroix

	E	F#m
But	all the while I	was alone

	A	D
The	past was close be-	hind

	E	F#m
I	seen alot of	women

	A	D
But she	never escaped my	mind

	E
Love just	grew

	A	G
	She was working in	topless place

	A	G
And	I stopped in for a	beer

	A	G
I	just kept looking at the	side of her face

	D
In the	spotlight so clear

	A	G
And	later on when the	crowd thinned out

	A	G
I was	just about to do the	same

	A	G
She was	standing there in	back of my chair

	D
Sayin'	"Tell me, don't I know your name?"

	E	F#m
	I muttered something under-	neath my breath

	A	D
She	studied the lines on my	face

	E	F#m
	I must admit I felt a	little uneasy

	A	D
When	she bent down to tie the	laces

	E
Of my	shoe

	A	G
	She lit a burner	on the stove

	A	G
And	offered me a	pipe

	A	G
I	thought you'd never say hel-	lo she said

	D
You	look like the silent type

	A	G
Then she	opened up a	book of poems

	A	G
And	handed it to	me

	A	G
	Written by an I-	talian poet

	D
From the	thirteenth century

	E	F#m
And	every one of them	words rang true

	A	D
And	glowed like burning	coal

	E	F#m
	Pourin' off of	every page

	A	D
Like it was	written in my	soul

	E
From me to	you

	A	G
I	lived with them on	Montague Street

	A	G
In a	basement down the	stairs

	A	G
There was	music in the ca-	fes at night

	D
And revo-	lution in the air

	A	G
Then	he started into	dealing with slaves

	A	G
And	something inside of him	died

	A	G
She	had to sell every-	thing she owned

	D
And	froze up inside.

	E	F#m
	And when finally the	bottom fell out

	A	D
	I became with-	drawn

	E	F#m
The	only thing I knew	how to do

	A	D
Was to	keep on keeping	on

	E
Like a bird that	flew

	A	G
So	now I'm going on	back again

	A	G
I got to	get to her some	how

	A	G
	All the people we	used to know

	D
They're an il-	lusion to me now

	A	G
	Some are mathema-	ticians

	A	G
	Some are carpenters	wives

	A	G
Don't	know how it all got	started

	D
I don't know	what they're doing with their lives

	E	F#m
But	me, I'm still	on the road

	A	D
	Headin' for another	joint

	E	F#m
We	always did	feel the same

	A	D
We just	saw it from a different	point

	E
Of	view
