THE BLUES MAN (featuring Dolly Parton)
Hank Williams Jr.

KEY: A / CAPO: 2 / PLAY: G

INTRO: G  Am  D  G 

VERSE:
G                                       C
I'm just a singer a natural born guitar ringer
C       D                    G
Kind of a clinger to sad old songs
G                                      Am
I'm not a walk behinder I'm a new note finder
Am                D                                    G
But my name's a reminder of a blues man that's already gone

VERSE:
So I started drinking took some things that messed up my thinking
I was sure sinking when she came along
I was alone in the spotlight not too much left in sight
She changed all that one night when she sang me this song

CHORUS:
G                            Am
Hey baby I love you Hey baby I need you
Am           D                                             G
Hey baby you don't have to prove to me your some kind of a mancho man
G                                                  Am
You've wasted so much of your life running through the dark night
Am                    D                       G          
Let me shine a little love light down on you, blues man

BREAK: G  Am  G

VERSE:
I got sick from speeding all the things they said I was needing
If I was to keep on pleasing all of my fans
I got cuffed on dirt roads I got sued over no shows
She came and took all that old load down for this blues man, and I sang

CHORUS:
Hey baby I love you too Hey baby I need you too
Hey baby I do get tired of this traveling band (I know you do get tired)
Oh I'm up in my years now nights would be so cold now
If you hadn't stuck it out with this blues man

TAG:
Oh I'm up in my years now nights would be oh so cold now
If she hadn't hung around with this blues man

OUTRO: G  Am  D  G
