Verse 1
(G major) a natural-born guitar (C/G) ringer
Kind of a (D7/F#) clinger to sad old songs (G major)
I'm not a walk-behinder,
I'm a new note finder (A minor7)
But my name's a reminder (D7)
of a blues man that's already gone (G major)

Verse 2
So I started (G major) drinkin',
took things that messed up my thinkin' (C major)
I was sure (D7) sinkin' when you came along (G major)
I was alone in the hot lights,
not too much left (A minor7) in sight
But she changed all that (D7) one night,
when she sang me this song (G major)
Chorus 1
Hey (D major) baby, (C major) I love (G major) you
Hey baby, I need (A minor7) you
Hey baby, you ain't (D7) got to prove to me
you're some kind of macho man (G major)
You've wasted (D major) so much of your (G major) life
running through the (A minor7) dark nights
Let me shine some (D7) love light
down on the blues man
(G major)

Verse 3
(G major) din',
all the stuff they said I wasn't (C major) needin'
If I was to keep (D7) pleasin' all of my fans (G major)
I got cuffed on dirt roads,
I got sued over (A minor7) no-shows
But she came and took (D7) all that old load
down off this blues (G major) man
Chorus 2
Hey (D major) baby, (C major) I love (G major) you too
Hey baby, I need (A minor7) you
Hey baby, I (D7) do get tired
of this travelin' band (G major)
I'm (D major) 30 years old (G major) now,
nights would be cold (A minor7) now
If you hadn't (D7) stuck it out
with this blues man (G major)
Outro 1
I'm 30 years old (G major) now,
nights sure would be cold (A minor7) now
If you hadn't (D7) hung around
with this blues man (G major)
