G He's just a singer, a natural born guitar C ringer
Kind of a D clinger to sad old G songs
He's not a walk behinder, he's a new note C finder
But his names a r D eminder of a C blues man that's a D lready g G one
So he started drinkin', took some things that messed up his t C hinkin'
He was sure s D inkin' when she came a G long
He was alone in the spot light, not too much l C eft in sight
She changed all that D one night when she sang him this s G ong
(chorus)
G Hey baby I love you, Hey baby I Am need you
Hey baby you a D in't got to prove to me y C ou're some kind of macho G man
You've wasted so much of your life, runnin' through the Am dark nights
Let me shine a little l D ove light, d C own on t D hat blues m G an.
G He got so sick from speedin', all the things they said he was n C eedin'
If he was to keep on p D leasin' all of his f G ans
He got cuffed on dirt roads, he got sued over C no shows
She came an took D all that old load d C own off that old blues m G an
And he sang
(chorus)
G Hey baby I love you too, Hey baby I Am need you
Hey baby I D do get tired C of this travelin' G band
I'm over forty years old now, nights would be Am cold now
If you hadn't s D tuck it out with this blues m G an
He's over forty years old now, nights would be so Am cold now
If she hadn't h D ung around with that blues m G an.
