He was a man A ramblin' man he was, yes he was
A9                 G             D
Guitar in hand His home was on the road
            A9   Bm7/A A9 Bm7/A
And that's where he was

C                                D                  C
He's seen a thousand roads He's been a million miles
C                             D                  G D/F# C
And when he'd bend a note A tear would fill my eyes

Where are you playin' Mr. Bluesman, Mr. Bluesman

A9             G               D             A9  Bm7/A
Town to town Honkytonks and dives all look the same
A9                 G              D             A9   Bm7/A
His gipsy heart keeps his shadow ridin' through the rain

C                                 D                    C
A graveyard full of scars His life will paint his songs
C                                        D               G
'Cause when you're on the road There's nowhere you belong
       D/F#   C                  D   A9
You're just alone Where are you playin'
      E                   G D/F# A9
Mr. Bluesman, Mr. Bluesman

I play the blues I guess the blues must be just what I am
