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.
