[Verse]
 
Bm
   If you're leaving, close the door.
A                         Bm
  I'm not expecting people   anymore.
Bm
   Hear me grieving, lying on the floor.
A/C#                           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       G/F#  Em   Em/D   Bm
  Lord you know there ain't a sadder tale.

[Verse]
 
Bm
   Had a friend once, in a room.
A                         Bm
  Had a good time, but it ended much too soon.
Bm
   In a cold month, in that room.
A                        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 room is cold.
Bm
   When a blind man cries,
D              G   G/F# Em Em/D   Bm
  Lord you know he feels  it from his soul
