Key of G
Intro: G Am7 D G
G C
He's just a singer, a natural born guitar ringer
D G
Kind of a clinger to sad old songs
G Am
He's not a walk behinder, he's a new note finder
D G
But his name's a reminder of a blues man that's already gone
G C
So he started drinkin' Took some things that messed up his thinkin'
D G
He was sure sinkin' when she came along
G Am
He was alone in the spotlight, Not too much left in sight
D G
She changed all that one night When she sang him this song
(chorus)
G Am
Hey baby I love you, Hey baby I need you
D
Hey baby you ain't got to prove to me
G
You're some kind of macho man
G
You've wasted so much of your live
Am
Runnin' through the dark nights
D G
Let me shine a little love light Down on that blues man
instr: C G
G
He got so sick from speedin'
C
All the things they said he was needin'
D G
If he was to keep on pleasin' all of his fans
G Am
He got cuffed on dirt roads He got sued over no shows
D
She came and took all that old load
G
Down off that blues man, and he sang
G Am
Hey baby I love you too, Hey baby I need you
D G
Hey baby I do get tired of this travellin' band
G Am
I'm over 40 years old now, nights would be cold now
D G
If you hadn't stuck it out with this blues man
G Am
He's over 40 years old now, nights would be so cold now
D G
If she hadn't hung around with that blues man
