[Intro]
G   Am7   D   G
 
[Verse 1]
              G
I'm just a singer
                      Am7
A natural born guitar ringer
         D
kind of a clinger
           G
to sad old songs
                    G
I'm not a walk behinder
               Am7
I'm a new note finder
                  D
but my name's a reminder
                              G
of a blues man that's already gone
             G
So I started drinkin'
                                  Am7
Took things that messed up my thinkin'
           D
I was sure sinkin'
                 G
when you came along
                       G
I was alone in the hot lights
               Am7
Not too much left in sight
                         D
but she changed all that one night
                      G
when she sang me this song
 
[Chorus]
    D     C    G
Hey baby, I love you
             Am7
Hey baby, I need you
              D
Hey baby, you ain't got to prove to me you're
                     G
some kind of macho man
               C              G
You've wasted so much of your life
                    Am7
runnin' through the dark nights
                  D
Let me shine some love light
                      G
down on this blues man

[Verse 2]
                   G
I got so sick from speedin'
                              Am7
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
            Am7
I got sued over no shows
                     D
but she came and took all that old load
                    G
down off this blues man
 
[Chorus]
    D     C      G
Hey baby, I love you too
             Am7
Hey baby, I need you
            D
Hey baby, I do get tired
                      G
of this travelin' band
    D  C      G
I'm 30 years old now
                 Am7
Nights would be cold now
              D
if you hadn't stuck it out
                  G
with this blues man
               G
I'm 30 years old now
                      Am7
Nights sure would be cold now
             D
if you hadn't hung around
                G
with this blues man
