G           C/G G  C/G G
 They sat together in the park

Bm
 As the evening sky got dark

G7                                     C
 She looked at him and he felt a spark tingle to his bones

      Am            C        G                D    C
’Twas then he felt alone and wished that he’d gone straight

    G          Am                     | G     C/G G | G     C/G G |
And watched out for a simple twist of fate
[Verse 2]
G                         C/G  G
 They walked along by the old canal

Bm
 A little confused, I remember well

    G7                                  C            Am
And stopped into a strange hotel with a neon burnin’ bright

   C        C/B         Am           G D/F#   C
He felt the heat of the night hit him  like a freight train

G     Am                     | G     C/G G | G     C/G G |
Moving with a simple twist of fate
[Verse 3]
G             C/G  G
 A saxophone someplace softly played

Bm
 As she was walkin’ on by the arcade

G7                                      C
 She heard the melody rise and fade, the sun was coming up

    Am        C                      G         D/F#   C
She dropped a coin into the cup of a blind man at the gate

       G        Am             C/D | G     C/G G | G     C/G G |
And forgot about a simple twist of fate
[Verse 4]
G            C/G  G
 He woke up, she was gone

Bm
 He didn’t see nothing but the dawn

G7                                    C        C/B      Am
 He got up and put his clothes back on, pushed back the blinds

        C          C/B    Am               G    D           C
Found a note she'd left behind to which he just could not relate

     G      Am             | G     C/G G | G     C/G G | G     C/G G |
All about a simple twist of fate
[Verse 5]
G                     C/G G
 He hears the ticking of the clocks

Bm
 And walks alone through the city blocks

G7                                                C       C/B      Am
 Hunts her down by the waterfront docks where the sailors all roll in

         C        C/B    Am        G         D  C
Maybe he'd spot her once again, how long must he wait

G            Am                     | G     C/G G | G     C/G G |
One more time for a simple twist of fate
[Verse 6]
G
 People tell me it’s a crime

Bm
 To know too much for too long a time

G7                                     C              C/B         Am
 She should have caught me in my prime, she would’ave stayed with me

          C     C/B    Am              G    D   C
‘stead of going off to sea and leavin’ me to meditate

G          Am             | G     C/G G | G     C/G G |
 Upon that simple twist of fate
