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


Outro:  |: G  Am  D  G :|  ....
