Early one morning the sun was shining
A
G
I was laying in bed
A
G
Wondering if she’d changed at all
D
If her hair was still red
A
G
Her folks, they said our lives together
A
G
Sure was gonna be rough
A
G
They never did like mama’s homemade 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
E
Lord knows I’ve paid some dues getting through

She was married when we first met
A
G
Soon to be divorced
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
Abandoned it out West
A
G
Split up on a dark sad night
D
Both agreeing it was best
E
F#m
She turned around to look at me
A
D
As I was walking away
E
F#m
I heard her say over my shoulder
A
D
E
We’ll meet again someday on the avenue”

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 enough to be employed
A
G
Working 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 behind
E
F#m
I seen a lot of women
A
D
E
But she never escaped my mind, and I just grew

She was working in a topless place
A
G
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
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 underneath my breath
A
D
She studied the lines on my face
E
F#m
I must admit I felt a little uneasy
A
D
E
When she bent down to tie the laces of my shoes

She lit a burner on the stove
A
G
And offered me a pipe
A
G
“I thought you’d never say hello,” she said
D
“You look like the silent type”
A
G
And then she opened up a book of poems
A
G
And handed it to me
A
G
Written by an Italian poet
D
From the 13th century
E
F#m
And every one of them words rang true
A
D
And glowed like burning coals
E
F#m
Pouring off every page
A
D
E
Like it was written in my soul from me to you

I lived with them on Montague street
A
G
In a basement down the stairs
A
G
There was music in the cafés at night
D
And revolution in the air
A
G
And then he started into dealing with slaves
A
G
And something inside of him died
A
G
She had to sell everything she owned
D
And froze up inside
E
F#m
And when one day the bottom fell out
A
D
I became withdrawn
E
F#m
The only thing I knew how to do
A
D
E
Was to keep on keepin’ on like a bird that flew

So now I’m going back again
A
G
I got to get to her somehow
A
G
All the people we used to know
D
They’re an illusion to me now
A
G
Some are mathematicians
A
G
Some are carpenter’s 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
Me, I’m still on the road
A
D
Headed for another joint
E
F#m
We always did feel the same
A
D
E
We just saw it from a different point of view
