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

INTRO: [A]

VERSE 1:
[A] I feel so bad I've got a worried mind
I'm so lonesome [E7] all the time
Since I left my baby behind on [A] Blue Bayou [N.C.]

VERSE 2:
(Bo-bo-bo [A] dim-da-dee-ay) [A] Savin' nickels, savin' dimes
[E7] Workin' 'til the sun don't shine
Lookin' forward to happier times on [A] Blue Bayou [N.C.]

BRIDGE 1:
I'm goin' [A] back some day, come what may, to [E7] Blue Bayou
Where you sleep all day and the catfish play on [A] Blue Bayou
All those [A7] fishin' boats with their sails afloat
If [D] I could only [Dm] see
That [A] familiar sunrise thru [E7] sleepy eyes how [A] happy I'd be [N.C.]

VERSE 3:
(Bo-bo-bo [A] dim-da-dee-ay) [A] Oh, to see my baby again
[E7] And to be with some of my friends
Maybe I'd be happy then on [A] Blue Bayou [N.C.]

BRIDGE 2:
I'm goin' [A] back some day, gonna stay on [E7] Blue Bayou
Where the folks are fine and the world is mine on [A] Blue Bayou
Ah, that [A7] girl of mine by my side
The silver [D] moon and the evening [Dm] tide
Ah, [A] some sweet day [E7] gonna take away this hurtin' [A] inside [N.C.]

OUTRO:
I'll [E7] never be blue, my dreams come true [E7 open]
On [E7] Blue Bay-[A]-ou (Bo-bo-bo dim-da-dee-ay)
