Chords

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: D (xx0232) Em (022000) A7 (x02020) A7sus4 (x02030) G7 (320001) [Intro] D Em A7 A7sus4 D [Verse]
                          Em     A7
Something told me it was over

                              D
When I see you and him out walking

                             Em              A7
Something deep down in my soul said cry boy

                            D
When I see you and him out talking
[Chorus]
                  Em            A7
I would rather go blind, girl

                                    D
Than to see you walk away from me, child

                               Em
So you see, I love you so much

                                      A7
I don't wanna let you go now, babe

                                  D
But most of all I don't wanna be free

                      Em         A7
And I would rather go blind

                                    D
Than to see you walk away from me, child

Annnnd I was just,  I was just,  I was just,  ohhhh just

              Em         A7
sitting here thinking

                             D
Of your kiss and your warm embrace

                                    Em                      A7
When the reflection in the glass I held to my lips now babe

                                    D
Revealed the tears that were on my face
[Chorus]
                  Em            A7
I would rather go blind, girl

                                    D
Than to see you walk away from me, child (oh watch you walk away)

              Em         A7
sitting here thinking

Of your kiss and your warm embrace

                                    Em                      A7
