Biography:
Freddie King (September 3, 1934 – December 28, 1976), thought to have been born as Frederick Christian in Gilmer, Texas, originally recording as Freddy King, and nicknamed "the Texas Cannonball", was an influential African-American blues guitarist and singer. He is often mentioned as one of "the Three Kings" of electric blues guitar, along with Albert King and B.B. King (though he was the youngest of the three).
King's mother, Ella May King, and her brother, who both played the guitar, began teaching him to play at the age of six.

G... (intro)
D7 G
Well I travel the higway I make many scenes
A7 D
Being lost in darkness, I've been out on the streets
G C
I feel so unhappy, sometimes I wanted to die, Lord
Em D G
But if I have your sweet sweet love, I know I'll survive
G
This whole world is turning, like wheels on a train
A D
I hold on to each moment, that it won't come again
G C
I'm not educated, but there's one thing I know
Em D G
That I'd rather be blind, than to see you go
Em Bm
I thank god for strong woman, who knows how to be weak
C G
And it makes me feel so good, every time she speaks
Em Bm
Oh the revelation, the revelation in her smile
C7 D7
It feels so much like in heaven, when I'm with her for just a little while
G
So don't leave me darling, no, whatever you do
A7 D
When I'm standing beside you, I know we'll get through
G C7
and there is only one thing, babe, that I want you to know,
Em D
that I'd rather be blind, than to see you go.
