[Intro 1]
[Em][D][G][Em][C][B]
[Em][D][G][Em][C][B]

[Verse 1]
On a [Em]cold concrete sidewalk,
on the corner of fifth [D]and main
[G]Sit[Em]s an old black blind man,
and no one knows his [Am]name
[B]He pla[Em]ys the same old guitar,
he plays the same old [D]tune
[G]And whe[Em]n the people pass him by,
some are heard to [C]say
“Play, let the blind [G]man [D]play”

[Verse 2]
[Em]He was a cotton picker down
[D]in [G]Ala[Em]bam'
Daddy never amounted to much
died by his [C]own hand[B]
He [Em]lost his sight one terrible night by the
hand of the Ku Klux [D]Klan[G]
[Em]Burned his eyes with a branding
iron some are heard to [C]say;
Play, [D]let the blind man

[Verse 3]
[Em]play
[D]Maybe you'll be around
another [Em]day
[C]Dreamin' about those little things
you [G]know you'll [D]never [Em]see
[Am]So play, let the blind man [C]play,
let the blind [D]man [Em]play![D]

[Interlude 1]
[A][Em]

[Verse 4]
[Em]The years were kind while the man was blind,
but he knew his time [D]was due
[G]And no [Em]one cried when the blind man died,
with the name that no one [Am]knew
[B]They mad[Em]e his coffin outta knotty pine,
with a wreath of laurel [D]too
[G]His epi[Em]taph was short and sweet,

[Verse 5]
and all it said was play
[C]Play [D]let the blind man [Em]play
[D]Maybe you'll be around
another [Em]day
[C]Dreamin' about those little things
you [G]know you'll [D]never [Em]see
So [Am]play, let the blind man [C]play,
[D]let the blind man [Em]play
[D]Maybe you'll be around
another [Em]day
[C]Dreamin' about those little things
you [G]know you'll [D]never [Em]see
So [Am]play, let the blind man [C]play,
let the blind [D]man [Em]play
[D][A][Em]

[Verse 6]
Play that gui[D]tar blind [G]man![Em]
