I?d Rather be Blind, Cripple and Crazy
The Derek Trucks Band

This is a great reworking of the old blues tune written by Hodges, Carter, Robey and 
originally by the great Buddy Guy. They mellow B3 part is transcribed for guitar (play it 
a slow groove over a double time beat) and the slide is in Bm pentatonic. --Mo Love

Just stepped out, over and over again
Standin? my pride, even though I know I can?t win
I?m tired, of you messin? up my tide
You got yours, let me-let me have mine

Than to let you break my heart all over again

To break a man?s heart, all you need is pain
You?ve got me so messed up, ?bout to go insane
You break a man?s heart, and don?t say nothin? to him
I keep askin? myself, ?Why you wanna do it? Why you wanna do it??

CHORUS

Why you wanna do it baby?
