George Jones & Dolly Parton [Intro]
 G  C   D  G
[George Jones]

G
I'm just a singer

                       C
A natural-born guitar ringer

         D
Kind of a clinger

           G
To sad old songs

G
I'm not a walk-behinder

                C
I'm a new note finder

                  D
But my name's a reminder

    C                 D       G
Of a blues man that's already gone

             G
So I started drinking

                                    C
Took some things that messed up my thinking

          D                        G
I was sure sinking, when she came along

 G
I was alone in the spot light

              C
Not too much left inside

                      D
She changed all that one night

                      G
When she sang me this song
[Dolly Parton]
G
Hey baby, I love you

            Am
Hey baby, I need you

               D
Hey baby, you don't have to prove to me

                    C     G
You're some kind of macho man
You've wasted so much of your life
                    Am
Running through the dark nights

                      D            C               G
Let me shine a little love light down on You Blues Man
[Solo 1] G C D G
G    C     D     G
[George Jones]

G
I got so sick from speedin'

                             C
All the stuff they said I was needin'

                 D
If I was to keep pleasin'

           G
All of my fans

                      G
I got cuffed on dirt roads

                    C
I got sued over no-shows

                   D
She came and took all that old load

C                    G
Down off this blues man. That's right
[Both]
             G
Hey baby, I love you too

             Am
Hey baby, I need you too

             D                 C             G
Hey baby, I do get tired of this travelin' band
[Dolly]
                   G
I know you do get tired
[Both]
G
Oh, I'm up in my years now

                 Am
Nights would be cold now

               D                           G
If you hadn't stuck it out with this blues man
[George]
                        G
Oh, I'm up in my years now
[Both]
                 Am
Nights would be cold now

                D                          G
If you hadn't hung around with This Blues Man
[SOLO 2] G C D G G C D G
