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 name's 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 spotlight, 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 Hey baby you ain't got to prove to me G You're some kind of macho man G You've wasted so much of your live Am Runnin' through the dark nights D G Let me shine a little love light Down on that blues man instr: C G G He got so sick from speedin' C All the things they said he was needin' D G If he was to keep on pleasin' all of his fans G Am He got cuffed on dirt roads He got sued over no shows D She came and took all that old load G Down off that blues man, and he sang G Am Hey baby I love you too, Hey baby I need you D G Hey baby I do get tired of this travellin' band G Am I'm over 40 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 40 years old now, nights would be so cold now D G If she hadn't hung around with that blues man Outro: |: G Am D G :| ....
