[Intro] | G | C/G | D/F# | G | [Verse]
            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 names 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 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                                                 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                             G   G (hold)
Let me shine a little love light, down on that blues man
[Interlude] | C | G | [Verse]
                    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

                                              Am
He got cuffed on dirt roads, he got sued over no shows

                 D                                         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                              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

                      G                           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
