The story behind the song

Fleetwood Mac formed in London in 1967 and became one of the world's best-selling musical acts, selling over 120 million records. In their early years, they were primarily a British blues band, achieving a UK No. 1 single in 1968 with "Albatross." The band saw several lineup changes, eventually relocating to the United States in 1974. The addition of Lindsey Buckingham and Stevie Nicks in late 1974 led to their self-titled album topping the US charts in 1975.

A Bm

Something told me it was over

when I saw you and her talking,

Something deep down in my soul said, ´Cry Girl´

when I saw you and that girl, walking.

[Chorus]

I would rather, I would rather go blind boy,

Than to see you, walk away from me.

About your kiss and your warm embrace

With the reflection in the glass that I held to my lips baby,

Revealed the tears that were on my face

Than to see you walk away from me

So you see, I love you so much

That I don't want to watch you leave me baby,
