Id Rather Go Blind

                                  Paul Weller - I d Rather Go Blind
                                         The Changing Man EP
                                                1995


Really great cover of this classic made famous by Etta James. I prefer playing this with a capo though it can
be played without, just transpose back two spaces. It s basically all down strokes, throw some hammer-ons
and some chucks here and there and it sounds great.


Chords:

[Intro]
                      

[Verse]
                               
Something told me it was over
                              
When I see you and him out walking
                                           
Something deep down in my soul said cry boy
                            
When I see you and him out talking

[Chorus]
                              
I would rather go blind, girl
                                    
Than to see you walk away from me, child
                               
So you see, I love you so much
                                      
I don t wanna let you go now, babe
                                  
But most of all I don t wanna be free
                               
And I would rather go blind
                                    
Than to see you walk away from me, child

[Instrumental]
                  

[Verse]
                                          
Annnnd I was just,  I was just,  I was just,  ohhhh just
                       
sitting here thinking
                             
Of your kiss and your warm embrace
                                                          
When the reflection in the glass I held to my lips now babe
                                    
Revealed the tears that were on my face

[Chorus]
                              
I would rather go blind, girl
                                    
Than to see you walk away from me, child (oh watch you walk away)

[Verse]
                                           
Yeahhhh I was just,  I was just,  I was just,  yeah yeah
                       
sitting here thinking
                             
Of your kiss and your warm embrace
                                                          
When the reflection in the glass I held to my lips now baby
                                   
Revealed the tears that were on my face


[Outro]

                              (Strum once)
I would rather go blind, girl
                                           
Than to see you walk away, from me child
                                           
(now I watch you walk away yeah yeah)
