Early one morning the sun was shining
LA              
SOL/LA
I was laying in bed
LA                 
SOL/LA
Wondering if she'd changed at all
       
RE
If her hair was still red
LA                      
SOL/LA
Her folks they said our lives together
LA                 
SOL/LA
Sure was gonna be rough
     
LA                    
SOL/LA
They never did like mama's homemade dress
       
RE
Papa's bankbook wasn't big enough
    
MI                    
FA#m
And I was standing on the side of the road
LA                  
RE
Rain falling on my shoes
MI                   
FA#m
 Heading out for the East Coast
     
LA

Getting through

SOL/LA
She was married when we first met
LA             
SOL/LA
 Soon to be divorced
LA                     
SOL/LA
 I helped her out of a jam I guess
      
RE
But I used a little too much force
   
LA                
SOL/LA
We drove that car as far as we could
LA               
SOL/LA
Abandoned it out West
LA             
SOL/LA
 Split up on a dark sad night
     
RE
Both agreeing it was best
MI                   
FA#m
She turned around to look at me
   
LA             
RE
As I was walking away
MI                    
FA#m
 I heard her say over my shoulder
       
LA             
RE
"We'll meet again someday
          
MI
on the avenue"

SOL/LA
I had a job in the great north woods
LA                      
SOL/LA
Working as a cook for a spell
      
LA                 
SOL/LA
But I never did like it all that much
        
RE
And one day the ax just fell
     
LA              
SOL/LA
So I drifted down to New Orleans
     
LA                 
SOL/LA
so I lucky was to be employed
LA                        
SOL/LA 
Working for a while on a fishing boat
          
RE
Right outside of Delacroix
MI                  
FA#m
But all the while I was alone
    
LA               
RE
The past was close behind
MI               
FA#m
I seen a lot of women
        
LA               
RE
But she never escaped my mind
           
MI
And I just grew

LA                   
SOL/LA
She was working in a topless place
    
LA                 
SOL/LA
And I stopped in for a beer
   
LA                      
SOL/LA
I just kept looking at the side of her face
       
RE
In the spotlight so clear
    
LA                
SOL/LA
And later on when the crowd thinned out
      
LA                   
SOL/LA
I was just about to do the same
        
LA                
SOL/LA
She was standing there in back of my chair
             
RE
Said to me, "Don't I know your name?"
MI                        
FA#m
I muttered something underneath my breath
    
LA                      
RE
She studied the lines on my face
  
MI                  
FA#m
I must admit I felt a little uneasy
        
LA                    
RE
When she bent down to tie the laces
      
MI
Of my shoe
SOL

LA                 
SOL/LA                  
She lit a burner on the stove 
    
LA           
SOL/LA
and offered me a pipe
   
LA                         
SOL/LA            
"I thought you'd never say hello," she said,
     
RE
"You look like the silent type"
         
LA          
SOL/LA
Then she opened up a book of poems
    
LA           
SOL/LA
And handed it to me
LA             
SOL/LA
Written by an Italian poet
         
RE
From the thirteenth century
    
MI                
FA#m 
And every one of them words rang true
    
LA                  
RE
And glowed like burning coal
MI             
FA#m
Pouring off of every page
        
LA                
RE
Like it was written in my soul
           
MI
From me to you

LA                 
SOL/LA
I lived with them on Montague street
LA                     
SOL/LA
In a basement down the stairs
          
LA             
SOL/LA
There was music in the cafés at night
        
RE
And revolution in the air
     
LA                  
SOL/LA
Then he started into dealing with slaves
    
LA                      
SOL/LA
And something inside of him died
LA                   
SOL/LA
She had to sell everything she owned
    
RE
And froze up inside
    
MI                  
FA#m
And when it finally the bottom fell out
LA            
RE
I became withdrawn
    
MI                
FA#m
The only thing I knew how to do
    
LA                 
RE
Was to keep on keeping on
                 
MI
Like a bird that flew

SOL/LA
So now I'm going back again
         
LA             
SOL/LA
I got to get to her somehow
LA                
SOL/LA
All the people we used to know
             
RE
They're an illusion to me now
LA              
SOL/LA
Some are mathematicians
LA                   
SOL/LA
Some are carpenter's wives
       
LA                 
SOL/LA
Don't know how it all got started
             
RE
I don't know what they do with their lives
    
MI           
FA#m
But me I'm still on the road
  
LA                  
RE
A-heading for another joint
   
MI         
FA#m
We always did feel the same
        
LA                  
RE
We just saw it from a different point
