I�d Rather be Blind, Cripple and Crazy
The Derek Trucks Band
This is a great reworking of the old blues tune written by Hodges, Carter, Robey and
originally by the great Buddy Guy. They mellow B3 part is transcribed for guitar (play it
a slow groove over a double time beat) and the slide is in Bm pentatonic. --Mo Love

B7 E
Just stepped out, over and over again
Standin� my pride, even though I know I can�t win
I�m tired, of you messin� up my tide
You got yours, let me-let me have mine
CHORUS
B7 E
I�d rather be blind, cripple and crazy
B7 E
Somewhere pushin� up daisies
G#7 E
Than to let you break my heart all over again
To break a man�s heart, all you need is pain
You�ve got me so messed up, �bout to go insane
You break a man�s heart, and don�t say nothin� to him
I keep askin� myself, �Why you wanna do it? Why you wanna do it?�
CHORUS
Why you wanna do it baby?
(SOLO � slide guitar over a verse and chorus in Bm pentatonic)
