[D] They sat together in the park, [Dmaj7] while the evening sky grew dark
[D7] She looked at him & he felt a spark [G] tingle through his bones
It was [Gm] then he felt alone, and [D] wished that [F#m] he'd gone [G] straight
And [D] watched out for a [A7] Simple Twist of [D] Fate

D Dmaj7        They walked along by the old canal, a little confused, I remember well
D7 G             Stopped into a strange hotel with a neon burning bright
Gm D F#m G He felt the heat of the night hit him like a freight train
D A7 D          Moving with a Simple Twist of Fate

D Dmaj7        A saxaphone someplace faroff played as she was walking by the arcade
D7 G             As the light bust thru a beat-up shade where he was waking up
Gm D F#m G She dropped a coin into the cup of a blind man at the gate
D A7 D          And forgot about a Simple Twist of Fate

D Dmaj7        He woke up, the room was bare, he didn't see her anywhere
D7 G             He told himself he didn't care, pushed the window open wide
Gm D F#m G Felt that emptiness inside, to which he just could not relate
D A7 D          Brought on by a Simple Twist of Fate

D Dmaj7        He hears the ticking of the clock, walks along with a parrot that talks
D7 G             Hunts her down by the waterfront docks where the sailors all come in
Gm D F#m G Maybe she'll pick him out again, how long must he wait
D A7 D          One more time for a Simple Twist of Fate

D Dmaj7        People tell me it's a sin to know and feel too much within
D7 G             I still believe she was my twin, but I lost the ring
Gm D F#m G She was born in spring, but I was born too late
D A7 D          Blame it on Simple Twist of Fate
 

Well early in the [G] morning, till late at night
I got a poison [C] headache, but I feel all [G] right
I'm pledging my time, to [D7] you, hoping you'll come thru, [G] too

G      Well the hobo got me high, he came to me naturally
C G   He stole my baby, then he wanted to steal me
D7 G I'm pledging my time, to you, hoping you'll come thru, too

G      Won't you come with me, babe, I'll take you where you wanna go
C G   And if it don't work out, you'll be the first to know
D7 G I'm pledging my time, to you, hoping you'll come thru, too

G      Well the room is so stuffy, I can hardly breath
C G   Everybody's gone but me & you, I can't be the last to leave
D7 G I'm pledging my time, to you, hoping you'll come thru, too

G      Well they sent for the ambulance, and one was sent
C G   Somebody got lucky, but it was an accident
D7 G I'm pledging my time, to you, hoping you'll come thru, too
 

[A] Meet me in the morning, [D] 56th and Watershaw
[D] Meet me in the morning, [D7] 56th and Waters[A]-haw
Honey [E7] we could be in Kansas,
[D7] by the time the snow begins to [A] thaw

A D      They say the darkest hour is right before the dawn
D D7 A They say the darkest hour is right before the dawn
E7        Honey you wouldn't know it by me
D7 A     But everything's been darkness since you've been gone

A D      Blue rooster crowing, must be someting on his mind
D D7 A Blue rooster crowing, must be someting on his mind
E7        Well I feel just like that rooster
D7 A     Honey you treat me so unkind

A D      Well I struggled thru barbed-wire, felt the hail fall from above
D D7 A Well I struggled thru barbed-wire, felt the hail fall from above
E7        Well you know I've even out-run the Hound Dog
D7 A     Honey you know I've earned your love

A D      Look at the sun, sinking like a ship
D D7 A Look at the sun, sinking like a ship
E7        Ain't that just like my heart, babe
D7 A     When you kiss my lip

[G] Mama take this [D] badge of of [Am] me,
[G] I can't [D] use it any[C]-more
[G] It's getting [D] dark, too dark to [Am] see
[G] I feel I'm [D] knocking on heaven's [C] door

[G] Knock, knock, [D] knocking on heavens [Am] door
[G] Knock, knock, [D] knocking on heavens [C] door
[G] Knock, knock, [D] knocking on heavens [Am] door

G D Am Mama wipe the blood from my face
G D C    I'm sick and tired of the war
G D Am Got a feeling that's hard to trace
G D C    I feel I'm knocking on heaven's door

[G] Knock, knock, [D] knocking on heavens [Am] door
[G] Knock, knock, [D] knocking on heavens [C] door
[G] Knock, knock, [D] knocking on heavens [Am] door
[G] Knock, knock, [D] knocking on heavens [C] door

[C] Nobody [F] feels [G] any [C] pain
Tonight as I [F] stand [G] inside the [C] rain
[F] Everybody [G] knows
[F] That Baby's got new [G] clothes
But [F] late[Em]-ly [Dm] I [C] see her [G] ribbons and her bows
Have [Am] fallen [C] from [F] her [G] curls


She [C] takes [Em] just [Dm] like [C] a [F] woman yes she does
She [C] makes love [Em] just [Dm] like [C] a [F] woman yes she does
And she [C] aches [Em] just [Dm] like [C] a [F] woman
But she [G] breaks just like a little [C] girl.

Queen Mary, she's my friend.
Yes I believe I'll go see her again.
Noboby has to guess
That baby can't be blessed,
'Till she sees finally that she's like all the rest.
With her fog, her amphetamines, and her pearls

It was [E7] raining from the first
And I was dying of thirst
So I [C] came in here
And your [E7] long time curse hurts
But whats worse is this [F] pain in here

[G] I can't stay in here, ain't it clear that..

I just can't fit.
Yes I believe it's time for us to quit.
And when we meet again,
Introduced as friends,
Please don't let on that you knew me when,
I was hungry, and it was your world.
 

They [G] guilty undertaker sighs, the [Bm] lonesome organ-grinder cries
The [Em] silver saxaphones say I should [D7] refuse you
The [C] cracked bells and washed out horns
[G] Blow into my face with scorn
But it's [Em] not that way, I wasnt born to [D7] lose you

Chorus
I [G] Want You, I [Bm] want you, I [Em] want you so [D7] bad
Honey I [G] want you

The drunken politician leaps upon the street where the mothers weep
And the saviours who are fast asleep they wait for you
And I wait for them to interrupt me drinking from my broken cup
And asking me to open up the gate for you

Now [Bm/Em] all my fathers they've gone down, true [C] love they've been [C] without it
But [Bm/Em] all their daughters put me down cos [C] I don't think [D7] about it

Well I return to the Queen of Spades & talk with my chambermaid
She knows that I'm not afraid to look at her
She is good to me and there's nothing she doesn't see
She knows where I'd like to be but It doesn't matter

Now [Bm/Em] all my fathers they've gone down, true [C] love they've been [C] without it
But [Bm/Em] all their daughters put me down cos [C] I don't think [D7] about it

Now your dancing child with his Chinese suit
He spoke to me, I took his flute
I know I wasn't very cute to him, was I?
But I did it because he lied
And because he took you for a ride
And because time was on his side, and because I ...

Now [Bm/Em] all my fathers they've gone down, true [C] love they've been [C] without it
But [Bm/Em] all their daughters put me down cos [C] I don't think [D7] about it
 

Your [Am] breath is sweet your eyes are like two [G] jewels in the sky
Your [F] back is straight your hair is smooth on the [E] pillow where you lie
[Am] But I don't sense affection, no, nor [G] gratitude nor love
Your [F] loyalty is not to me, but [E] to the stars above

[F] One more cup of coffee for the [E] road
[F] One more cup of coffee 'fore I [E] go, to the valley [Am] below

Am G Your Daddy he's an outlaw and a wanderer by trade
F E    He'll teach you how to pick and choose, and how to throw the blade
Am G He oversees his kingdom so no stranger will intrude
F E    His voice it trembles as he calls for another plate of food

[F] One more cup of coffee for the [E] road
[F] One more cup of coffee 'fore I [E] go, to the valley [Am] below

Am G Your sister sees the future like your mother and yourself
F E    You've never learned to read or write, there's no books upon your shelf
Am G But your pleasure knows no limits, your voice is like a meadowlark
F E    But your heart is like an ocean, mysterious and dark

[F] One more cup of coffee for the [E] road
[F] One more cup of coffee 'fore I [E] go, to the valley [Am] below

 

I [G] pity the poor [C] immigrant who [D7] wishes he would have stayed [G] home
Who uses [G] all his power to do [C] evil but in the [D7] end is always left so [G] alone
That [Em] man whom with his [Bm] fingers cheats, who [C] lies with every [G] breath
Who [G] passionately [C] hates his life and [D7] likewise fears his [G] death

G C D7 G     I pity the poor immigrant who tramples thru the mud
G C D7 G    Who fills his mouth with laughing & who builds his town with blood
Em Bm C G Who eats but is not satisfied, who hears but does not see
G C D7 G    Who falls in love with wealth itself and turns his back on me

G C D7 G     I pity the poor immigrant whose strength is spent in vain
G C D7 G    Whose heaven is like ironsides, whose tears are like rain
Em Bm C G Whose visions in the final end, must shatter like the glass
G C D7 G    I pity the poor immigrant when his gladness comes to pass

 

[Bm] Our conversation was [Am] short and sweet
[Bm] It nearly knocked me, [Am] off my feet
And I'm [G] back in the rain, [C] oh, and you are on dry [G] land
[C] You made it there some[Am] how, you'[Bm] re a [C] big girl [G] now

Bm Am      Bird on the horizon, sitting on a fence
Bm Am      He's singing a song for me, at his own expense
G C G       And I'm just like that bird, oh, singing just for you
C Bm C G I hope that you can hear, hear me singing thru these tears

Bm Am      Time is a jet plane, it moves too fast
Bm Am      Oh but what a shame, if all we've shared can't last
G C G       I can change, I swear, Oh, see what you can do
I can make it thru, You can make it too.

Bm Am      Love is so simple, to coin a phrase
Bm Am      You've known it all the time, I'm learnin' it these days
G C G       Oh, I know where I can find you, Oh, in somebody's room
C Bm C G That's a price I have to pay, You're a big girl all the way

Bm Am      A change in the weather, is known to be extreme
Bm Am      But what's the sense in changing horses in mid-stream
G C G       I'm going out of my mind, oh, with a pain that stops and starts
C Bm C G Like a corkscrew down my heart, ever since we've been apart.

 

If not for [D] you

Babe, [Em] if not for [D] you
