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
