Blue Bayou
Roy Orbinson

A
I feel so bad I've got a worried mind
E
I'm so lonesome all the time
E                              A
Since I left my baby behind on blue bayou
A
Savin' nickels, savin' dimes
E
Workin' till the sun don't shine
E                                   A
Lookin' forward to happier times on blue bayou

A                                          E
I'm goin' back some day, come what may, to blue bayou
E                                               A
Where you sleep all day and the catfish play on blue bayou
A                                  Aaug             D            Dm
All those fishin' boats with their sails afloat, if I could only see
         A                    E               A    
That familiar sunrise through sleepy eyes how happy I'd be

A
Oh, to see my baby again
E
And to be with some of my friends
E                          A    
Maybe I'd be happy then on blue bayou
A
Savin' nickels, savin' dimes
E
Workin' till the sun don't shine
E                                   A
Lookin' forward to happier times on blue bayou

A                                      E
I'm goin' back some day, gonna stay on blue bayou
E                                                 A
Where the folks are fine and the world is mine on blue bayou
A                     Aaug             D                   Dm
Ah, that girl of mine by my side - the silver moon and the evening tide
    A                    E              A
Ah, some sweet day gonna take away this hurtin' inside
      E                   E7                   
Well, I'll never be blue, my dreams come true 
   Bm   E7    A   Asus2  A
On blue bay-ou
