Verse 1
C 
Am 
I  (C major)  (A minor) lost my eyes in the
blacksmith's shop
in the year of fifty -six
While dusting out a tea planch,
C 
which  (C major) was out of fix
Am 
It bounded  (A minor) from the tongs
C 
and  (C major) there concealed my doom
Am 
 (A minor) I   am a blind fiddler
and far from my home
I've been to San Francisco,
I've been to Dr. Lane
C 
He operated on  (C major) one of my eyes,
but nothing could he gain
Am 
C 
He told  (A minor) me that I'd  (C major) never see,
and it's no use to mourn
Am 
I  (A minor) am a blind fiddler
C 
Am 
and  (C major) far from  (A minor) my  home
I have a wife and three little ones,
Depending now on me,
C 
To share all  (C major) my troubles,
Whatever they may be.
Am 
Em 
I  (A minor) hope that they'll be  (E minor) careful,
C 
 (C major) While I'm compelled to roam.
Am 
 (A minor) I   am a blind fiddler,
And far from my home. you
