Hi! Your chords are almost right, but I think thats a correct way to play it acoustic, because if you play it with a band, after the "Bm" comes an A. Nice work anyway and good song. If you're leaving, close the door. A Bm I'm not expecting people anymore. Bm Hear me greaving, lying on the floor. A Bm Whether I'm drunk or dead I really ain't too sure. Bm D I'm a blind man, I'm a blind man. G Em And my world is pale. Bm D When a blind man cries, G Em Bm Lord you know there ain't no sadder tale. Had a friend once, in a room. A Bm Had a good time, but it ended much to soon. Bm In a cold month, in that room. A Bm Found a reason for the things we had to do. Bm D I'm a blind, I'm a blind man. G Em Now my world is cold. Bm D When a blind man cries, G Em Bm Lord you know he feels it from his soul

Could someone please tab the solo for this. Either the original or the Steve Morse one from Live at the Olympia. Thanks Ian
