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.

[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)
[Link]
[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)
