^{Key: :[B] (w: Roy Orbison, Joe Melson)}

INTRO: [B]

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

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

BRIDGE 1:
I'm goin' [B] back some day, come what may, to [F#7] Blue Bayou
Where you sleep all day and the catfish play on [B] Blue Bayou
All those [B7] fishin' boats with their sails afloat
If [E] I could only [Em] see
That [B] familiar sunrise thru [F#7] sleepy eyes how [B] happy I'd be [N.C.]

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

BRIDGE 2:
I'm goin' [B] back some day, gonna stay on [F#7] Blue Bayou
Where the folks are fine and the world is mine on [B] Blue Bayou
Ah, that [B7] girl of mine by my side
The silver [E] moon and the evening [Em] tide
Ah, [B] some sweet day [F#7] gonna take away this hurtin' [B] inside [N.C.]

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