Chicken Shack, I'd Rather Go Blind (1969)
Key: :[Em] (w: Ellington Jordan, Billy Foster) (Etta James, 1969)
VERSE 1:
[G] Something told me it was
[Am] over
when I saw you and her
[G] talking
Something deep down in my soul said
[Am] 'Cry Girl'
when I saw you and that girl
[G] walking
CHORUS:
I would rather, I would rather
[Am] go blind boy
Than to see you, walk away
[G] from me
So you see, I love you
[Am] so much
And I don't want to see you leave me baby
But most of all, I don't wanna be
[G] free
VERSE 2:
I was just, I was
[Am] just
I was just sitting here thinking
Of your kisses and your warm
[G] embrace
When the reflection in the glass
That I
[Am] held to my lips now baby
Revealed the tears that was on my
[G] face
REPEAT CHORUS:
INSTRUMENTAL: [over VERSE]
OUTRO:
Baby, baby, baby, I would rather
[Am] go blind
Than to see you, walk away
[G] from me
So you see, I love you
[Am] so much
And I don't want to see you leave me baby
But most of all, I don't wanna be
[G] free
