Blind John the guitar player, singing out each day
Blind John the guitar player, love might make him plaY
Blind John the guitar player, giving it away
Blind John the guitar player, never sees the day
Blind John the guitar player paid up all his dues
Blind John the guitar player, singing simple blues
Blind John the guitar player, gospel means good news
Blind John the guitar player,tell us something new
F#m A
And you know he said to me
F#m A
Just how special life could be
F#m A E
If everybody else could see as clear as me
E D E
Old John the guitar player taking careful aim
Blind John the guitar player, songs to ease the pain
Blind John the guitar player, cooling down the flames
Blind John the guitar player, he ain't got no [??]
Blind John the guitar player, fingers on my face
Blind John the guitar player, never leaves a trace
Blind John the guitar player, help us through the day
Blind John the guitar player, the night's not far away
F#m A
And that smile on his face
F#m A
Shining pennies in his case
F#m A E
Tell us that he's won the race and now he's through
a special thanks to david freiberg for helping me on this one.
