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.
