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
Ab7 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)
