[INTRO]
One, two, three, four ...
| E | Emaj7 | E7 | A |
| [Am] [D9] | [E] [A] | E [A/B] | [E] |

[VERSE 1]
[E] They sat together in the park
[Emaj7] As the evening sky grew dark
[E7] She looked at him and he felt a spark [A]tingle to his bones
[Am] ’Twas then he felt alone and [E]wished that he’d gone [A]straight
And [E]watched out for a [A/B]simple twist of [E]fate

[VERSE 2]
[E] They walked along by the old canal
[Emaj7] A little confused, I remember well
[E7] And stopped into a strange hotel with a [A]neon burnin’ bright
[Am] He felt the heat of the night [E]hit him like a [A]freight train
[E]Moving with a [A/B]simple twist of [E]fate

[Solo] acoustic guitar
| E | Emaj7 | E7 | A |
| [Am] [D9] | [E] [A] | E [A/B] | [E] |

[VERSE 3]
[E] A saxophone someplace far off played
[Emaj7] As she was walkin’ on by the arcade
As the [E7]light bust through a beat-up shade where [A]he was wakin’ up,
She dropped a [Am]coin into the [D9]cup of a [E]blind man at the [A]gate
[E]And forgot about a s[A/B]imple twist of [E]fate

[VERSE 4]
[E] He woke up, the room was bare
[Emaj7] He didn’t see her anywhere
[E7] He told himself he didn’t care,[A] pushed the window open wide
Felt an [Am]emptiness in[D9]side to which he [E]just could not re[A]late
[E] Brought on by a [A/B]simple twist of [E]fate

[VERSE 5]
[E] He hears the ticking of the clocks
[Emaj7] And walks along with a parrot that talks
[E7] Hunts her down by the waterfront docks where the [A]sailors all come in
Maybe he’ll [Am]pick her out a[D9]gain, how [E]long must he [A]wait
[E]One more time for a [A/B]simple twist of fat[E]e

[VERSE 6]
[E] People tell me it’s a sin
[Emaj7] To know and feel too much within
[E7] I still believe she was my twin, [A]but I lost the ring
[Am]She was born in [D9]spring, but [E]I was born too [A]late
[E] Blame it on a [A/B]simple twist of fat[E]e
