Blind Man chords by Bruce Springsteen

Guitar chords with lyrics

Intro:
G  D  G  D


Verse 1:
G                  D
It don't ever rain here
 G               D
The sun just always shines
 G               D
Did I wander here one morning
 Em
Or was I left behind?


Verse 2:
 G                   D
The mist comes every dawnin'
 G                   D
The heat comes every noon
 G                  D
The dew comes every evening
 Em
But honey, where are you?
G                  D
Honey, where are you?

Verse 3:
 G                 D
I'm a blind man on the river
G                D
Rowing with the tide
 G                 D
My skin's cold and my bones shiver
 Em
I need you by my side
 G               D
I need you by my side


Verse 4:
 G                D
The current never falters
 G             D
The river never bends
 G                    D
I sleep here at your altar
 Em
And wait for my compense


Verse 5:
 G                 D
I'm younger, now I'm older
 G                  D
Than I was when I come here
 G                  D
Each day I wake up in the darkness
 Em
Ready my boat and repeat my prayer
 G                  D
My boat and repeat my prayer


Verse 6:
 G               D
I saw a shadow six days running
 G           D
In the shape of a man
 G                        D
It's just the shifting branches of the willow
 Em
As the wind crosses the bottom land


Verse 7:
 G                             D
Your eyes, they can play tricks on you
 G                  D
Out of the water, the moon appears
 G                  D
In the river's deep reflection
 Em
I see your face, my dear
 G                    D
I see your face, my dear
 G                 D
I'm a blind man on the river
Em                   D
Rowing with the tide


Verse 8:
 G                 D
I tie my boat up in the evening
 G              D
To the branches of a birch tree
 G                   D
I woke to a shining angel above me
 Em
Her wings rustlin' in the eaves


Verse 9:
G                         D
Her voice had fell inside me
 G                  D
Like the night upon my cheek
 G                 D
The distant plains of Jordan
 Em                         D
Lie lit beneath the pale moon's peak


Verse 10:
 G                           D
I listen for the whippoorwill singing
 G                        D
It's just silence all night through
 G                D
Just the sound of my oars in the water
Em
Honey, where are you?
 G                 D
I'm a blind man on the river
G                D
Rowing with the tide


Outro:
G  D  Em    G  D  G  D  G
D  Em    G  D  G  D
