Simple Twist of Fate – Bob Dylan
Written by: Bob Dylan
From: "Blood on the Tracks" (1975)
Tabbed by: maguri
Tuning: Standard / Open E
Two versions:
VERSION 1: standard tuning, capo 4th fret
VERSION 2: open-E
To avoid breaking strings when tuning up to Open-E
I mostly tune down to Open-D (D-A-D-F#-A-d) and then
use a capo 2nd fret to get back to Open-E.
Listen to the open tuning version:

Intro
[Verse] 1
They sat together in the park
As the evening sky grew dark
She looked at him and he felt a spark
tingle to his bones
’Twas then he felt alon
e and wished
that he&r
squo;d gon
e straight
And
watched out for a
simple twis
t of fa
te
[Verse] 2
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
hit him
like a
frei---gh
t train
Moving with a
simple twist of fat
e
[Verse] 3
A saxophone someplace far off played
As she was walkin’ on 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 a
blind
man at the
gate
And for
got about a
simple twist of
fate
Solo
[Verse] 4
He woke up, the room was bare
He didn’t see her anywhere
He told himself he didn’t care, pushe
d the window open wide
Felt an
emptiness inside to which he
just could
not re
late
Brought on by his
simple twist
of
fate
[Verse] 5
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&rsq
uo;ll pick him out again
, how
long mu
st he wait
One more time for a
simple twis
t of
fate
[Verse] 6
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
borntoo l
ate
Blame it on a
simple twis
t of
fate
