[Em] [C] [B]
[Em] On a cold concrete sidewalk, on the corner of [D] 5th and [G] Main,
[Em] Stood an old black blind man, and no one [C] knows his [B] name.
[Em] He plays the same old guitar, he plays the same [D] old [G] tune,
[Em] And when the people pass him by, some are heard to say,
[C] Play, let the blind [G] man [D] play.
[Em] He was a cotton picker down in [D] [G] Alabama,
[Em] Daddy never amounted to much, died by [C] his own [B] hand.
[Em] He lost his sight one terrible night by the hand of the [D] Ku Klux [G] Klan.
[Em] Burned his eyes with a brandin' iron, some are heard to say,
[C] Play, [D] let the [Em] blind man play.
[D] Maybe he'll be around [Em] another day,
[C] Dreamin' about those little [G] things you [D] know you'll [Em] never see.
[Am] So play, [Bm] let the [C] blind man play.
Let [D] the blind [Em] man [D] play.
[A] Hey, hey, hey, hey.
[E]
[Em] [E] [Em]
The years were kind while the man was blind, but he knew his [D] time was [G] due.
[Em] And no one cried when the blind man died, with a name that [C] no one [B] knew.
[Em] They made his coffin out [Bm] of knotty [Em] pine, with a wreath of [D] laurel [Em] too.
His epitaph was short and sweet, and all it said was,
Play, [C] [D] let the [Em] blind man play.
[D] Maybe he'll be around [Em] another day,
[C] Dreamin' about those little [G] things you [D] know [Em] you'll never see.
[Am] So play, [D] let the [C] blind man play.
[D] Let the [Em] blind man play.

[F#] Play that [G] guitar, [E] blind man.
