Something told me it was over

when I saw you and her talking,
Bm Bm
Something deep down in my soul said, ´Cry Girl´,
A A
when I saw you and that girl, walking out.

Bm Bm
I would rather, I would rather go blind boy,
A A
Than to see you, walk away from me child, and all.
A A
Ooooo So you see, I love you so much

That I don't want to watch you leave me baby,

Most of all, I just don't, I just don't want to be free no

Bm Bm
I was just, I was just, I was just sitting here thinking

Of your kisses and your warm embrace, yeah,

When the reflection in the glass that I held to my lips now baby,
A A
Revealed the tears that was on my face, yeah.

Bm Bm
And baby, baby, I would rather be blind boy
A A
Than to see you walk away, see you walk away from me, yeah
Bm Bm
Baby, baby, baby, I'd rather be blind now

About this song: I'd Rather Go Blind

Etta James at her best! Listen to soulful Etta as she pours her heart out in this deep, soul sound of music. The I'd Rather Go Blind Songfacts says that Etta James penned this Southern Blues classic during a visit to her friend Ellington "Fugi" Jordan in prison in 1967. For tax reasons James gave her songwriting credit to her partner at the time, Billy Foster, who was a member of the '50s Los Angeles doo-wop group The Medallions.
