[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

[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

On the second line of the verses, it sounds really good going to "Am" instead of "C". Give it a try 🙂

Seems to me that the Solo of this awesome song is played in Em pentatonic. Works for me. Keep on Jamming.
