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

INTRO: [F#]

VERSE 1:
[F#] I feel so bad I've got a worried mind
I'm so lonesome [C#7] all the time
Since I left my baby behind on [F#] Blue Bayou [N.C.]

VERSE 2:
(Bo-bo-bo [F#] dim-da-dee-ay) [F#] Savin' nickels, savin' dimes
[C#7] Workin' 'til the sun don't shine
Lookin' forward to happier times on [F#] Blue Bayou [N.C.]

BRIDGE 1:
I'm goin' [F#] back some day, come what may, to [C#7] Blue Bayou
Where you sleep all day and the catfish play on [F#] Blue Bayou
All those [F#7] fishin' boats with their sails afloat
If [B] I could only [Bm] see
That [F#] familiar sunrise thru [C#7] sleepy eyes how [F#] happy I'd be [N.C.]

VERSE 3:
(Bo-bo-bo [F#] dim-da-dee-ay) [F#] Oh, to see my baby again
[C#7] And to be with some of my friends
Maybe I'd be happy then on [F#] Blue Bayou [N.C.]

BRIDGE 2:
I'm goin' [F#] back some day, gonna stay on [C#7] Blue Bayou
Where the folks are fine and the world is mine on [F#] Blue Bayou
Ah, that [F#7] girl of mine by my side
The silver [B] moon and the evening [Bm] tide
Ah, [F#] some sweet day [C#7] gonna take away this hurtin' [F#] inside [N.C.]

OUTRO:
I'll [C#7] never be blue, my dreams come true [C#7 open]
On [C#7] Blue Bay-[F#]-ou (Bo-bo-bo dim-da-dee-ay)
