I’d rather go blind (1969)    (video)

 

    G - Am - Am - G

 

    G                                          Am

1.     Something told me it was over,

Am                                      G

    when I saw you and her talking.

G                                                                Am

    Something deep down in my soul said, cry, boy,

Am                                              G

    when I saw you and that girl walking.

 

    G                                                      Am

2.      I would rather, I would rather go blind, girl,

Am                                                   G

    than to see you walk away from me.

G                                           Am

    So you see, I love you so much,

 

    (that I don't wanna watch you leave me, baby)

Am                                                     G

    but most of all I don't want to be free, no.

 

   G                            Am

3.    I was just, I was just, I was just sitting here thinking

Am                                                   G

    of your kiss and your warm embrace.

G                                                              Am

    When the reflection in the glass that I held to my lips, baby,

Am                                                      G

    revealed the tears that was on my face.

 

+  repeat verse 2

 

+  G - Am - Am - G ….
