Chicken Shack, I'd Rather Go Blind (1969)
^{Key: :[Bm] (w: Ellington Jordan, Billy Foster) (Etta James, 1969)}
VERSE 1:
[D] Something told me it was [Em] over
when I saw you and her [D] talking
Something deep down in my soul said [Em] 'Cry Girl'
when I saw you and that girl [D] walking

CHORUS:
I would rather, I would rather [Em] go blind boy
Than to see you, walk away [D] from me
So you see, I love you [Em] so much
And I don't want to see you leave me baby
But most of all, I don't wanna be [D] free

VERSE 2:
I was just, I was [Em] just
I was just sitting here thinking
Of your kisses and your warm [D] embrace
When the reflection in the glass
That I [Em] held to my lips now baby
Revealed the tears that was on my [D] face

REPEAT CHORUS:

INSTRUMENTAL: [over VERSE]

OUTRO:
Baby, baby, baby, I would rather [Em] go blind
Than to see you, walk away [D] from me
So you see, I love you [Em] so much
And I don't want to see you leave me baby
But most of all, I don't wanna be [D] free
