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

INTRO: [D#]

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

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

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

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

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

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