General Rules On Chord Charts

For the intro, just run through the verse pattern once.

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

E B A

And wished that he'd gone straight

E A B E

And watched out for a simple twist of fate

They walked along by the old canal

A little confused, I remember well

And stopped into a strange hotel

With a neon burnin' bright

He felt the heat of the night

It hit him like a freight train

Moving with a simple twist of fate

A saxophone someplace far off played

As she was walkin' by the arcade

As the light bust through a beat-up shade

Where he was wakin' up

She dropped a coin into the cup

Of the 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 a 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

Where the sailors all come in

Maybe she'll pick him out again,

How long must he wait

One more time, for a simple twist of fate

People tell me it's 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
