Alan Jackson - The Blues Man (A Tribute To Hank Williams, Jr.)

From "Under The Influence" (1999)
(Hank Williams Jr.)

Capo: 1st Fret

He's just a [G]singer  a natural born guitar [Am]ringer
Kind of a [D]clinger to sad old [G]songs
He's not a walk behinder He's a new note [Am]finder
He's his name's re[D]minder of a blues man that's already [G]gone

So he started drinking took things that messed up his [Am]thinkin'
He was sure [D]sinking when she came a[G]long
He was alone in the spot light not too much [Am]left in sight
She changed all that one [D]night when she [G]sang him this song  

CHORUS #1:
Hey Baby I love you Hey baby I [Am]need you
Hey baby you ain't got to [D]prove to me you're some kind of [G]macho man
You wasted so much of your life running through the [Am]dark nights
Let me shine a little [D]love light down that blues [G]man

He got so sick from speedin', all the things they said he was [Am]needin'
If he was to keep on [D]pleasin' all of his [G]fans
He got cuffed on dirt roads, he got sued over [C]no shows
She came and took off [D]that old load
Down [G]off that blues man and he sang

CHORUS #2:
Hey Baby I love you too, Hey baby I [Am]need you
Hey baby I do get [D]tired of this travelin' [G]band
I'm over 40 years old now, nights would be [Am]cold now
If you hadn't [D]stuck it out with this blues [G]man

He's over 40 years old now, nights would be [Am]cold now
If she hadn't [D]hung around with that blues [G]man
