I Wish I Were Blind chords by Bruce Springsteen

SPRINGSTEEN, BRUCE:  I Wish I Were Blind
(from the "Human Touch" album)

NOTES:

Here's a relatively recent Boss tune that's simply awesome (from an
underrated album, IMHO). There's also a kick-ass version of this on
XXPlugged. All chord fingerings are standard. Like a lot of Bruce songs,
this is a fun one to sing and the chords are simple enough that you can jam
on it for a long time.

Music plays, ...
                G                         Em

Well, these eyes that once ....
    G            C         G
Now fill me ...
C                       D
And the light that ...
   G                   Em
Is banished ...
             C                         D
Oh, and this darkness is all ....
                C
And though this world ...
D                G                 Em
Grace and beauty ...
              C            D                 G
I wish I were blind when I see ...



We struggle here but all ....
(etc.)

I think I may have one or two ....
