BLUE BAYOU (Roy Orbison)


   F                                  C                
I feel so bad, I got a worried mind;    I'm so lonesome all the time
                                F         
Since I left my baby behind on Blue Bayou
 F                            C                 
Saving nickels, saving dimes;   working till the sun don't shine
                                      F          
Looking forward to happier times on Blue Bayou

                                          C          
I'm going back someday, come what may to Blue Bayou
                                                 F         
Where you sleep all day and the catfish play on Blue Bayou
                                    F7             Bb            Bbm
All those fishing boats with their sails afloat, if I could only see
        F                       C               F            
That familiar sunrise through sleepy eyes, how happy I'd be



 F                      C      
Gonna see my baby again   and to be with some of my friends
                             F
Maybe I'd be happy then on Blue Bayou
                                        C
I'm going back some day gonna stay on Blue Bayou
                                                   F 
Where the folks are kind and the world is mine on Blue Bayou
                     F7             Bb                  Bbm 
Ah that girl of mine by my side the silver moon and the evening tide
    F                    C              F
Ah some sweet day gonna take away this hurting inside
          C
Well I'd never be blue, my dreams come true
