Simple Twist of Fate [D] - Bob Dylan D They sat together in the park Dmaj7 As the evening sky grew dark D7 G She looked at him and he felt a spark tingle to his bones Gm D G ’Twas then he felt alone and wished that he’d gone straight D A D And watched out for a simple twist of fate D They walked along by the old canal Dmaj7 A little confused, I remember well D7 G And stopped into a strange hotel with a neon burnin’ bright Gm D G He felt the heat of the night hit him like a freight train D A D Moving with a simple twist of fate D A saxophone someplace far off played Dmaj7 As she was walkin’ by the arcade D7 G As the sunlight bust through a beat-up shade where he was wakin’ up, Gm D G She dropped a coin into the cup of a blind man at the gate D A D And forgot about a simple twist of fate D He woke up, the room was bare Dmaj7 He didn’t see her anywhere D7 G He told himself he didn’t care, pushed the window open wide Gm D G Felt an emptiness inside to which he just could not relate D A D Brought on by a simple twist of fate D He hears the ticking of the clocks Dmaj7 Hunts for her through the city blocks D7 G Even down by the waterfront docks where the sailors all roll in Gm D G Maybe he’ll see her once again, how long must he wait D A D Once more for a simple twist of fate D People tell me it’s a sin Dmaj7 To know and feel too much within D7 G I still believe she was my twin, but I lost the ring Gm D G She was born in spring, but I was born too late D A D Blame it on a simple twist of fate
