The Blues Man Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Intro 1]
[G][C][D][G]
[D][C][G]

[Verse 1]
I'm just a [G]singer, a natural-born guitar [C]ringer
Kind of [D]a clinger to sad old s[G]ongs
I'm not a walk-behinder,
I'm a new note [Am]finder
But my name's a re[D]minder
of a blues man that's already [G]gone

[Verse 2]
So I started [G]drinkin',
took things that messed up my [C]thinkin'
I was [D]sure sinkin' when you came [G]along
I was alone in the hot lights,
not too much [Am]left in sight
But she changed all that [D]one night,
when she sang me this [G]song
Hey [D]baby, [C]I love

[Chorus 1]
[G]you
Hey baby, I [Am]need you
Hey baby, you [D]ain't got to prove to me
you're some kind of macho [G]man
You've wasted [D]so much of your [G]life
running through the [Am]dark nights
Let me shine some [D]love light
down on the blues [G]man
[C][G]

[Verse 3]
I got so sick from [G]speedin',
all the stuff they said I wasn't [C]needin'
If I was to [D]keep pleasin' all of my [G]fans
I got cuffed on dirt roads,
I got sued [Am]over no-shows
But she came and [D]took all that old load
down off this blues [G]man
Hey [D]baby, [C]I love

[Chorus 2]
[G]you too
Hey baby, I [Am]need you
Hey baby, I [D]do get tired
of this travelin' [G]band
I'm [D]30 years [G]old now,
nights would be [Am]cold now
If you hadn't [D]stuck it out
with this blues [G]man

[Outro 1]
I'm 30 years [G]old now,
nights sure would be [Am]cold now
If you [D]hadn't hung around
with this blues [G]man
