[Intro]
G        Em        G        Em

[Verse 1]
G                     Em      
  People blinded by a prophecy, 
  G                            Em
  that's made up as it goes along.
G                             Em      
  Is this the thing we call democracy? 
 G                               Em
  Where's the line of right and wrong?
G                                   
  Confined residing in your
 Em 
   manufactured
        G                     
 world,   far too soon you're 
         Em
 grey and old.
G                        Em                
  Take a look outside of how 
  they say it is,
  G                       Em
   there's a story to be told.

[Chorus]
         C          D
So off I go, on the road,
G                            
far away from lands where all 
      Em
your dreams are bought and sold.
           C             D
I'm riding free, on liberty,
G                             
gain perspective from not what
              Em
 they say but everything I see.
    C                            
I'm tired of hearing lies because
     Cm
 the truth don't satisty.

[Interlude]
           G    Em    G    Em
So fck it all.

[Verse 2]
G                             Em     
  There's a place that we can go from
      G                           Em
 here   and stay exactly where we are.
G                           Em     
  Drop the networks that project a
               G            
 false reality.   You're only 
               Em
viewing from afar.
G                              Em     
  So take some time to see the sights, 
 G                           Em
  talk to the people as you go.
G                              Em
  See the difference to what's shown
 on television screens,
G                             Em
  that's the life we ought to know.

So fck it. All I'm sayin' is the 
things that they portray
    G                             A
are out there just to modify your mind.
      C                      
Don't listen to the shite and 
           D
you'll be halfway to alright;

How to play Stop Living Blind: key, chords and progression

Stop Living Blind by Jamie Webster is centred on G major (one sharp: F♯). The song uses 7 chords: G, Em, C, D, Cm, B and A.

Most of the song cycles through C – D – G – Em (IV – V – I – vi in G major). In solfa, that is fah – soh – doh – lah. Get these 4 changes smooth and the rest comes quickly.

Good to know: Cm and B are played as barre or movable shapes on guitar. Practise the change into them slowly; on piano and ukulele the same chords are easier.
