Subject: Bruce Springsteen: I Wish I Were Blind

SPRINGSTEEN, BRUCE: I Wish I Were Blind
(from the "Human Touch" album)

NOTES:

Here's a relatively recent Boss tune that's simply awesome (from an
underrated album, IMHO). There's also a kick-ass version of this on
XXPlugged. All chord fingerings are standard. Like a lot of Bruce songs,
this is a fun one to sing and the chords are simple enough that you can jam
on it for a long time.

And though this world ...

Grace and beauty ...

I wish I were blind when I see ...

We struggle here but all ....
(etc.)

I think I may have one or two ....
