Blind By Jars of Clay
>From the self-titled album; Jars of Clay
Words and music by Jars of Clay
Copyright 1995 Pogostick Music/Bridge Building Music

This song figured out by Jon King (augosaid.u.t.s.j@juno.com)

Okay, this is not ALL of the song, I didn't have enough time for it
(yet), this is mostly just the intro, verses, and chorus.

There are obviously two guiatars in this song but I'm only putting the
tab down for one (and SOME parts of the background guitar)

Intro:

|------0-------------0---------------0---------------0-----------|
|--3-------------3---------------3---------------3---------------|
|---------4--------------4---------------4----------------4------|
|----------------------------------------------------------------|
|--0-------------0---------------0--------------0----------------|
|----------------------------------------------------------------|

Verse: (play 8X)

Cynical...
|---------0--------------------------|
|--3---------3------------3----------|
|-----4----------4-----0----0--------|
|--------------------4---------------|
|--0---------------------------------|
|------------------------------------|
There's a slight change in the guitar playing at the end of each verse
but it sounds ok if you just keep playing that.

Chorus: (play twice)

Bli__________nd Words...
|------------------------------|----------------------|
|--3----------------3---------|--3--------------------|
|----------4-----4-----4-----|------4-----4-----------|
|-------4-----4-----------4--|--4------4-----4--------|
|--0--------------------------|-----------------------|
|------------------------------|----------------------|
(Not sure about the above
part)

That's just about all I've gotten to so far, I'm pretty sure most it's
pretty accurate except for the part I said wasn't.

I'll try getting them rest down some other time.

Lyrics:

Cynical, it's just your way
You play the doubting thomas
Feel the scars and wipe the stains.

So you fight, and retreat
And talk yourself out of believing
In any peace that you can't see

Blind words you call
Blind words will fall

Logical, you can't find
Any reason to believe in love,
you are blind

Crucify, and deny
Pass the blame and burn the mission
Till dust remains and wash your hands

Blind words you call
Blind words will fall

That's it, Some other time I'll tab the rest out.

later.

i believe that this song is most likely talking about someone who can't see all the best, but wants to do good.

i think it's about someone who does not have enough faith in Jesus and doubts him. He has to see to believe. Doubting thomas is someone in the bible who wouldn't believe Jesus is Lord, until he actually felt is scars. "crucify and deny pass the blame..." talks about how this person has sinned and sent jesus to the cross, but denies it and won't admit he is sinful, because he doesn't believe Jesus died for our sins. The main point is that you have faith in who Jesus is or you will fail in seeking the truth. 1
