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.
