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

[Refrão] G Am

Hey baby I love you, Hey baby I need you

Hey baby you ain't got to prove to me

You're some kind of macho man

You've wasted so much of your live

Runnin' through the dark nights

D G

Let me shine a little love light Down on that blues man

instr: C G

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

G Am

He got cuffed on dirt roads He got sued over no shows

She came and took all that old load

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
