Well I travel the higway I make many scenes

Being lost in darkness, I’ve been out on the streets

I feel so unhappy, sometimes I wanted to die, Lord
Em D G
But if I have your sweet sweet love, I know I’ll survive

This whole world is turning, like wheels on a train
A D
I hold on to each moment, that it won’t come again
G C
I’m not educated, but there’s one thing I know
Em D G
That I’d rather be blind, than to see you go

Em Bm
I thank god for strong woman, who knows how to be weak
C G
And it makes me feel so good, every time she speaks
Em Bm
Oh the revelation, the revelation in her smile
C7 D7
It feels so much like in heaven, when I’m with her for just a little while

G
So don’t leave me darling, no, whatever you do
A7 D
When I’m standing beside you, I know we’ll get through
G C7
and there is only one thing, babe, that I want you to know,
Em D
that I’d rather be blind, than to see you go.

SOLO

I appreciate your efforts but this is a chord progression. What I am looking for is a transcription of the SOLO. Also, this song might have this same title but is not the Koko Taylor/Etta James version of the song. Those versions follow a II, V, I progression often used in jazz compositions. In the case of Koko Taylor the progression is Ab, Bbm7, Eb7, Ab. In the Etta James version everything is moved up one half step to the key of A. Thanks again.

Thanks, Gordo.

I’ve written a solo that works well with this tune that I have been using. Much of it is based on what this dude is doing but as you know there’s a dozen ways of looking at the same thing at this level. I was just curious if there was something out there showing a note for note transcription of what Koko’s guitar player is doing (she uses a II, V, I progression, as did Etta James in the original). I suppose if I wasn’t so f’n lazy I’d take the time to transcribe it myself. Really no need though since my solo(s) seem to be working. I appreciate your input.
