The Blues Man
G C
He’s just a singer, a natural born guitar ringer
D G
Kind of a clinger to sad old songs
C
He’s not a walk behinder, he’s a new note finder
D C D G
But his names a reminder of a blues man that’s already gone
C
So he started drinkin’, took some things that messed up his thinkin’
D G
He was sure sinkin’ when she came along
C
He was alone in the spot light, 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 C G
Hey baby you ain’t got to prove to me you’re some kind of macho man
Am
You’ve wasted so much of your life, runnin’ through the dark nights
D C D G
Let me shine a little love light, down on that blues man.
G C
He got so sick from speedin’, all the things they said he was needin’
D G
If he was to keep on pleasin’ all of his fans
C
He got cuffed on dirt roads, he got sued over no shows
D C G
She came an took all that old load down off that old blues man
And he sang…
(chorus)
G Am
Hey baby I love you too, Hey baby I need you
D C G
Hey baby I do get tired of this travelin’ band
Am
I’m over forty years old now, nights would be cold now
D G
If you hadn’t stuck it out with this blues man
Am
He’s over forty years old now, nights would be so cold now
D G
If she hadn’t hung around with that blues man.
(Solo)
