Roy Orbison, Blue Bayou (1963)
^{Key: :[C] (w: Roy Orbison, Joe Melson)}

INTRO: [C]

VERSE 1:
[C] I feel so bad I've got a worried mind
I'm so lonesome [G7] all the time
Since I left my baby behind on [C] Blue Bayou [N.C.]

VERSE 2:
(Bo-bo-bo [C] dim-da-dee-ay) [C] Savin' nickels, savin' dimes
[G7] Workin' 'til the sun don't shine
Lookin' forward to happier times on [C] Blue Bayou [N.C.]

BRIDGE 1:
I'm goin' [C] back some day, come what may, to [G7] Blue Bayou
Where you sleep all day and the catfish play on [C] Blue Bayou
All those [C7] fishin' boats with their sails afloat
If [F] I could only [Fm] see
That [C] familiar sunrise thru [G7] sleepy eyes how [C] happy I'd be [N.C.]

VERSE 3:
(Bo-bo-bo [C] dim-da-dee-ay) [C] Oh, to see my baby again
[G7] And to be with some of my friends
Maybe I'd be happy then on [C] Blue Bayou [N.C.]

BRIDGE 2:
I'm goin' [C] back some day, gonna stay on [G7] Blue Bayou
Where the folks are fine and the world is mine on [C] Blue Bayou
Ah, that [C7] girl of mine by my side
The silver [F] moon and the evening [Fm] tide
Ah, [C] some sweet day [G7] gonna take away this hurtin' [C] inside [N.C.]

OUTRO:
I'll [G7] never be blue, my dreams come true [G7 open]
On [G7] Blue Bay-[C]-ou (Bo-bo-bo dim-da-dee-ay)
