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  
 

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  
 

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.
