James Patrick "Jimmy" Page, (born January 9, 1944) is widely considered one of the greatest and most influential guitarists in rock. He was a founding member of Led Zeppelin and, prior to that, a member of The Yardbirds from late 1966 through 1968. Before he was a member of those two groups, however, Page had been one of the most in-demand studio guitarists in England from the time he was a teenager.
After Led Zeppelin disbanded, Page worked on some critically acclaimed solo material

Someone requested Blues Anthem by Jimmy Page and Chris Farlow. You'll find the song on Jimmy Page `Outrider' or Chris Farlow `Waiting In The Wings'. I love especially the a capella version on `Waiting In The Wings'. The lyrics maybe not right, because I'm not native speaking, sorry for that.

Blues Anthem -- Words and Music by Page/Farlow
{Intro} [E] [E] [A] [E] [E] [F#mB] [E] [E]
{Verse 1} If I [E]cannot be so happy with [A]out you my [E]dear, If I cannot hold you close evr'y [F#7]second that you're [B]here, You must [A]know I can't go on. [E] Ev'ry [A]time I sing my [E]song. If I cannot have your love [F#7] I'll [B]sing the [E]blues.
{Verse 2} Every time I'm feeling low and far away. All the time I think of you, every second of the day. And you know you hurt my pride, Bud I'd rather be by your side. If I cannot have your love I'll sing the blues.
{Chorus 1} Sing the [B]blues all my life. I got [A]trouble I got [E]strife. How can a man expect to be so [B]free. [Badd6] To [A]travel this so lonely road [E]and to [A]carry this heavy [E]load, Is becoming far [E/C#] too much, [F#m]too much [B]for [E]me.
{Verse 3} If I cannot be so happy then I'm gonna be on my way. The many nights I needed your love it never worked out that way. For I must have my babe, For I'm feeling extremely sad. If I cannot have your love I'm gonna play the blues.
{Solo}
{Chorus 2} Sing the [B]blues all my life. I got [A]trouble I got [E]strife. How can a man expect to be so [B]free. [Badd6] To [A]travel this so lonely road [E]and to [A]carry this heavy [E]load, Is becoming far [E/C#] too much, [F#m]too much [B]for [E]me. Yes I'd [E]rather have [E/C#]your love [F#m]than [B]singing then [E]blues. Yes I'd [E]rather have [E/C#]your [A/F#]love baby than sing the [E]blues.
