Joan Baez – Simple Twist Of Fate (Guitar)

A
They sat together

A
In the park

A
As the evening sky grew dark

A
She looked at him

                D
He felt a spark tingle to his bones

      Dm
'Twas then he felt alone

    A                     D
And wished that he'd gone straight

    E                                 A
And watched out for a simple twist of fate

A
They walked down by the old canal

A
Got a little confused, I remember well

A
And then they stopped

A
In a strange hotel

         D
With the neon burning bright

   Dm
He felt the heat of night

A              D
Hit him like a freight train

    E7                            A
And moving with a simple twist of fate

A
Saxophone some place nearby played

A
She was walking on by the arcade

A
As a light burst through a beat up shade

    D
But he was waking up

              Dm
She dropped a coin into a cup

     A                D
Of a blind man at the gate

    E7                          A
And forgot about a simple twist of fate

A
He woke up

A
And the room was bare

A
He didn't see her

A
Anywhere

A7
He told himself

A7
He didn't care

              D
He pushed the window

D
Open wide

D
He felt an

Dm
Emptiness inside

            A                D
To which he just could not relate

        E                       A
Brought on by a simple twist of fate

A
He hears the ticking of the clocks

A
Small waves whisper to the rocks

A7
He hunts her down

A7
By the waterfront docks

          D
Where the sailors all come in

              Dm
Perhaps he'll see her once again

A                D
How long must he wait

  E7
Once more

E7
For a simple

         A
Twist of fate

A
People tell me it's a crime

A
To feel too much

A
At any one time

A7
All it cost me was a dime

        D
But the bells refuse to ring

Dm
He was born in the spring

A                  D
But I was born too late

E7
To blame it on

               A
A simple twist of fate
