[Verse 1]
AEarly one mornin' the Gsun was shinin'
AI was layin' in Gbed A
Wondrin' if she'd Gchanged at all
If her Dhair was still red
AHer folks they said our Glives together
ASure was gonna be Grough
They Anever did like
MaGma's homemade dress
Papa's Dbank book wasn't big enough
And EI was standin' on the F#mside of the road
RainA fallin' on my shoes D
E Heading out for the eastF#m coast
Lord Aknows I've paid some Ddues
Gettin' Ethrough

[Verse 2]
AShe was married when Gwe first met
A Soon to be divorced G
AI helped her out of Ga jam I guess
But I Dused a little too much force
We Adrove that car as Gfar as we could
AAbandoned it out Gwest
ASplit up on a dark Gsad night
Both agDreeing it was best
She Eturned around to lookF#m at me
AsA I was walkin' aDway
E I heard her say over myF#m shoulder
AWe'll meet again some Dday
On the Eavenue

[Verse 3]
AI had a job in Gthe great north woods
AWorking as a cook for a Gspell
ABut I never did like Git all that much
And one Dday the axe just fell
So AI drifted down to GNew Orleans
Where AI was looking for to be Gemployed
AWorkin' for a while Gon a fishin' boat
Right Doutside of Delacroix
But Eall the while I was alF#mone
The pastA was close behind D
E I seen a lot of woF#mmen
But Ashe never escaped my Dmind
And I just Egrew

[Verse 4]
AShe was workin' in Ga topless place
AAnd I stopped in for a Gbeer
AI just kept lookin' at Gthe side of her face
In Dthe spotlight so clear
And Alater on as the Gcrowd thinned out
I's Ajust about to do the Gsame
AShe was standing there in Gback of my chair
Said to Dme, Don't I know your name?
I Emuttered somethin' underF#m my breath
SheA studied the lines on my Dface
EI must admit I felt a littleF#m uneasy
When she Abent down to tie Dthe laces
Of my Eshoe

[Verse 5]
AShe lit a burner Gon the stove
AAnd offered me a pipe G
AI thought you'd never Gsay hello, she said
You Dlook like the silent type
Then Ashe opened up a Gbook of poems
And Ahanded it to Gme
AWritten by an IGtalian poet
From the Dthirteenth century
And Eeveryone of them F#mwords rang true
AndA glowed like burnin' Dcoal
E Pourin' off of every page F#m
Like it was Awritten in my Dsoul
From me to Eyou

[Verse 6]
AI lived with them on MonGtague Street
AIn a basement down the stairs G
AThere was music in the Gcafés at night
And revoDlution in the air
Then Ahe started into deaGling with slaves
And Asomething inside of him Gdied
AShe had to sell Geverything she owned
DAnd froze up inside
And Ewhen finally the botF#mtom fell out
IA became withdrawn D
EThe only thing I knew how toF#m do
Was Ato keep on keepin' Don
Like a bird that Eflew

[Verse 7]
ASo now I'm goin' back aGgain
I got to Aget to her somehow G
AAll the people we Gused to know
They're an Dillusion to me now
Some Aare mathemaGticians
Some Aare carpenters' Gwives
ADon't know how it all Ggot started
I don't know Dwhat they're doin' with their lives
But Eme, I'm still on F#mthe road
HeaAdin' for another Djoint
E We always did feel the same F#m
We just Asaw it from a Ddifferent point of Eview
