Biography:
Jeff Healey (born Norman Jeffrey Healey on March 25, 1966 in Toronto, Canada – died March 2, 2008) was a blind Canadian blues-rock guitarist. Healey was perhaps most notable for his innovative playing style, with his guitar lying flat on his lap. Despite losing his sight to cancer of the eyes at one years old, he began to play guitar when he was just three, and developed his own unique playing style and technique.
Shortly after completing high school

B E E7 A7 E7
I've got two islands in the Baha-mas.
A7 E7 A7 E7
Got some land in the south of France.
A7 E7 A7 E7 A7
I'm gonna get me a house out on Malibu Beach,
G5
Just as soon as I get the chance.
E7 A7 E7
Well, I ain't got a divers license,
A7 E7 A7 E7
I've got a Rolls and five limou-sines.
A7 E7 A7 E7 A7
I've got ev'ry little thing that money can buy.
G5 B5
Well, I guess that I'm a man of means.
[Chorus]
B5 A5 G5
Well, I got a lot of things, baby, in this world,

But I can't get my hands on you.

B E E7 A7 E7
Once I loaned out a whole lot of money,
A7 E7 A7 E7
To a man who I called my friend.
A7 E7 A7 E7 A7
And he skipped town without payin' me back.
G5 B5
Well, he'll never pull that trick again.
E7 A7 E7
You know it ain't always been easy.
A7 E7 A7 E7
I've worked hard to get to this spot.
A7 E7 A7 E7 A7
And all that it took was determination,
G5 B5
To get all the things that I've got.
[Chorus]
B5 A5 G5
Well, I got a lot of things, baby, in this world,
F5
But I can't get my hands on you.
