[N]
[D]
[G] I'm just a singer, [Gm] a natural born guitar ringer, [C] kind of a [D] clinger.
Sad [G] old song, I'm not a walk behind.
I'm a new [Am] note [C] finder, [Am] but my name's a [D] reminder
of a blues man that's already [G] gone.
So I started drinking, took things that messed up my [C] thinking.
I was [D] sure of sinking.
When you came [G] along, I was alone in the hot lights.
Not too much [Am] left inside, but she changed [D] all that in one night.
She sang [G] me this song.
Hey baby, I love you.
Hey baby, [Am] I need you.
Hey baby, [D] you ain't got to prove to me
you're some kind of [G] macho man.
You wasted so much of your life running [Am] through the dark nights,
letting me shine some [D] love light down on the [G] blues man.
[C]
[G] I got so sick from speeding, all the stuff they said I was [C] needing.
If I was to keep [D] pleasing all of my [G] fans,
I got cuffed on dirt roads.
I got sued [Am] over no show,
but she came and took [D] all that old low down off this [G] blues man.
Hey baby, I love you too.
Hey baby, [Am] I need you.
Hey baby, [D] I do get tired of this traveling [G] band.
I'm 30 years old now.
Nights would be [Am] cold now if you hadn't [D] stuck it out with this [G] blues man.
I'm 30 years old now.
Nights sure would be [Am] cold now if you [D] hadn't hung around with this blues man.
