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