Chords for I Go Blind - Neil Osborne(54-40) Victoria House Concert B Show

[F] Up here it's called Sokin. _ _ _ _ _
[Abm] Anyway, in 1996, after it was a big hit,
[G] I think it was like number three [C] nationally in the States, their version. _
_ [G] But we got an award for it.
It was really cool. _
So it was [Ab] this big celebration in the Beverly Hills Hilton, _ down in Los Angeles. _
And _ Steve Miller was [Em] there, Smokey Robinson was there, Dick Clark [E] was there.
I mean, it was really kind of just, yeah.
[A] _ _ _ _ _
But [Ab] I remember we were at the Roosevelt Hotel, which is, you know, one of the rock and roll hotels.
And we got in the elevator _ and Little Richard's in there.
_ With his bodyguards. _ _ _
_ [Dm] _ [Ebm] It's about [G] my height.
Maybe, I think he's taller, [F] actually.
But his bodyguards are like, huh?
_ [Ab] _ And I'll do the dress [G] to the nines, all [F] of them.
And there's one of those [G]
mirrored doors, and he's just doing this [A] the whole time. _ _ _
_ [Abm] _ _ _ _ _ _ [Cm]
And just checking to [D] see that I'm watching him. _ _
_ _ [N] _ Yeah. _ _
I tried to get [Abm] Smokey out. _ _ _
[Bb] _ _ _ _ Dick Clark, it's too [G] hard.
_ [F] _ _ [Bb] It's too hard.
[C] _
[G] It _ [Ab] was also the day that, _ the weekend that Frank [G] Sinatra passed away.
_ [Bb] So _ [G] everywhere _ in Hollywood, you know, they have those Hollywood stars. _ _
And so he has three of [Em] them, obviously, for TV, film, and _ [F] recording.
And there's piles of [Ebm] flowers.
It's really [G] impressive to see that. _
[F] _ _ [Bb] So everything was a [C] tribute to Frank _
_ [G] _ _ [Bb] _ _ [F] _ during that day.
I don't know why I'm saying that, but that's what happened.
_ [G] _ _
_ [F] _ _ Anyway, _ _ _ we had [Bb] _ [F] a [Ab] co [F]-publishing deal or something like that.
I don't even know who we had a [Gb] deal with.
Sony or [F] something like that at the time.
_ [Bb] _ [F] And they _ called our names.
We didn't know if we were going to say something.
We were pretty nervous and all this sort of stuff.
_ _ And then they [Bb] said, you know, [F] co [D]-publishing by Sony.
[Abm] And then like [Ab] 15 people get up there, [G] take our words, _ _ _ and walk [F] off.
Even before we, [G] I was so mad. _ _ _ _ _ _
_ And, [N] what are you doing? _ _
[F] _ _ _ _ _ _ [Fm] Did you get the [G] award though?
Oh yeah, yeah, I made a few phone calls.
We didn't know they were coming. _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
Did you get it back?
Yeah, yeah.
[F] _ _ _
_ [Bb] _ [Cm] Along with all the money.
_ [Bb] _ _
[F] It's nice.
_ _ _ They're nice guys, those Hootie [Cm] guys.
Yeah, they're really nice [F] guys. _
[Bb] _ [C] They had fortune call upon them.
[F] _
_ When that happens, what are you going to do? _
Just have a break. _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ Every time I look at you I go _ blind.
_ _ _ _ _ _ Every time I look at you I go blind.
_ _ _ _ _ _ _
In the morning I get up and I try to feel alive but I _ can't. _ _ _ _ _
I don't know [G] that _ [F]
there's something in me.
It just won't give it a _ _ chance. _ _
I _ _ _ _ _ _ _ guess that I feel more [Bb] confused _ [F] by the _ love that's shown me. _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ Little child, did you know that there's a light?
And it's going to shine right through your eyes.
What do you think that life is like?
I look at you [Bb] and I go [F] blind. _ _
_ I [Dm] go blind. _ _
[F] _ _ _ _ Somewhere _ over there, well there's a purpose. _
There's a gift for _ me. _
_ _ _ In me there's nobody.
No one's plan, no one stands to be _ free. _
_ _ _ I guess that [Bb]
because I have seen all of [F] us, it's no big deal. _ _ _
No big deal. _ _ _
_ _ _ Hold me, hold me, cause I want to get high and higher. _
_ _ _ Hold me, hold me, cause I want to get high and higher. _
_ I'll tell you one difference, cause Darius and my voice are pretty similar. _ _ _ _ _ _
_ They _ say, _ _ _ _ _ hold me, hold me, cause I want to get higher and higher. _ _
We say higher and higher.
_ _ No man, we're from BC, we want to get high, and then we want to get higher.
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ Hold me, hold me, cause I want to get high and higher. _ _
_ _ _ Hold me, hold me, cause I want to get high and _ higher.
We're gonna get high, and then we're gonna get high. _
