Simple Twist of Fate

SIMPLE TWIST OF FATE- Bob Dylan

TUNING: E B E G# B E

They sat together in the park

As the evening sky grew dark

She looked at him and he felt a spark

Tingle to his bones

'Twas then he felt alone

And wished that he'd gone straight

E(2) Esus2/A E5

And watched out for a simple twist of fate

They walked along the old canal

A little confused, I remember well

And stopped into a strange hotel

With the neon burning bright

He felt the heat of the night

Hit him like a freight

Train moving with a simple twist of fate

A saxaphone someplace far off played

As she was walking down by the arcade

As the light burst through a beat up shade

Where he was waking up

She dropped a coin into the cup

Of a blind man at the gate

And forgot about a simple twist of fate

He woke up, the room was bare

He didn't see her anywhere

He told himself he didn't care

Pushed the window open wide

Felt an emptiness inside

To which he just could not relate

Brought on by his simple twist of fate

He hears the ticking of the clocks

And walks along with a parrot that talks

Hunts her down by the waterfront docks

Were the saliors all come in

Maybe she'll pick him out again

How long must he wait?

One more time for his simple twist of fate

People tell me its a sin

To know and feel too much within

I still believe she was my twin

But I lost the ring

She was born in spring

But I was born too late

Blame it on a simple twist of fate
