I'm a blind man, I'm a blind man.

And my world is pale.

Bm
Had a friend once, in a room.
A Bm
Had a good time, but it ended much too soon.

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
