Simple Twist Of Fate Chords by Joan Baez

_ _ [B] _ _ _ _ _ _
They _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ sat together in the park _ _ as the evening sky grew dark.
_ _ She looked at him, he found a [E] spark tingle to his _ bones.
[Em] T'was then he felt alone _ [B] and wished that he'd [E] gone astray
[F#] and watched out for a simple twist [B] of fate. _ _ _ _
_ _ They walked down by the old canal, _ a little confused I remember well.
And then they stopped in a strange hotel [E] with the neon burning bright.
_ [Em] He felt the heat of night.
_ _ [B] It himber like _ a freight [F#] train a-movin' _ with a simple twist [B] of fate. _ _ _
_ _ _ _ Saxophone someplace nearby played.
_ She was walking on by the arcade _ as a light burst through a beat up shade.
[E] Where he was waking up, she [Em] dropped a coin into a cup
_ [B] of a blind man at the gate and [F#] thought out about a simple twist of fate. _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ [B] He _ _

_ _ [B] _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ woke up and the room was bare.
_ _ He didn't see her anywhere.
_ He told himself he didn't care.
He [E] pitched the window open wide. _
He [Em] felt an emptiness _ _ inside [B] to which he just could not relate.
_ [F#] Brought on by a simple twist [B] of fate. _ _ _ _
_ _ He hears the ticking of the clocks.
_ _ Small waves whisper to the rocks.
He hunts her down by the waterfront docks [E] where the sailors all come in.
_ [Em] Perhaps he'll see her once again. _
_ _ [B] How long must [E] he wait?
_ _ [F#] _ Unsure for a simple _ [B] twist of fate. _ _ _
_ _ _ People tell me it's a crime to feel too much at any one time.
_ All it cost me was a dime [E] but the bells refuse to ring.
_ _ [Em] He was born in spring _ _ [B] but I was born [E] _
today.
_ [F#] _ Blame it on a simple twist [B] of fate. _ _ _
