I Wish I Were Blind - Bruce Springsteen 

| G | G | G | G

I love to see the cottonwood blossom
       C
In the early spring
          D
I love to see the message of love
         G
That the bluebird brings
           C       D
But when I see you walkin' with him
    G               Em7
Down along the strand
                   C
I wish I were blind
       D                    G
When I see you with your man


I love to see your hair shining
            C
In the long summer's light
          D
I love to watch  the stars fill the sky
     G
On a summer night
          C              D
The music plays you take his hand
                G                          Em7
I watch how you touch him as you start to dance
                       C
And I wish I were blind
       D                    G | G | C
When I see you with your man

                 D                 G
We struggle here but all our love's in vain
             C                              D
Oh these eyes that once filled me with your beauty
    G             C  | C G | C
Now fill me with pain
                        D
And the light that once entered here
    G              D | Em7
Is banished from me
        C                          D
And this darkness is all baby that my heart sees
                C
And though this world is filled
         D                G             D | Em
With the grace and beauty of God's hand
                      C
Oh I wish I were blind
        D                   G | G |
When I see you with your man
