[Verse]
Bm
If you're leaving, close the door.
A Bm
I'm not expecting people anymore.
Bm
Hear me greaving, lying on the floor.
A7 Bm
Whether I'm drunk or dead I really ain't too sure.
[Chorus]
Bm D
I'm a blind man, I'm a blind man.
G Em
And my world is pale.
Bm
When a blind man cries,
D G Bm
Lord you know there ain't no sadder tale.
[Verse]
Bm
Had a friend once, in a room.
A
Had a good time, but it ended much to soon.
Bm
In a cold month, in that room.
A7 Bm
Found a reason for the things we had to do.
[Chorus]
Bm D
I'm a blind, I'm a blind man.
G Em
Now my world is cold.
Bm
When a blind man cries,
D G Bm
Lord you know he feels it from his soul
