INTRO: [G]

VERSE 1:
[G] I feel so bad I've got a worried mind
I'm so lonesome [D7] all the time
Since I left my baby behind on [G] Blue Bayou [N.C.]

VERSE 2:
(Bo-bo-bo [G] dim-da-dee-ay) [G] Savin' nickels, savin' dimes
[D7] Workin' 'til the sun don't shine
Lookin' forward to happier times on [G] Blue Bayou [N.C.]

BRIDGE 1:
I'm goin' [G] back some day, come what may, to [D7] Blue Bayou
Where you sleep all day and the catfish play on [G] Blue Bayou
All those [G7] fishin' boats with their sails afloat
If [C] I could only [Cm] see
That [G] familiar sunrise thru [D7] sleepy eyes how [G] happy I'd be [N.C.]

VERSE 3:
(Bo-bo-bo [G] dim-da-dee-ay) [G] Oh, to see my baby again
[D7] And to be with some of my friends
Maybe I'd be happy then on [G] Blue Bayou [N.C.]

BRIDGE 2:
I'm goin' [G] back some day, gonna stay on [D7] Blue Bayou
Where the folks are fine and the world is mine on [G] Blue Bayou
Ah, that [G7] girl of mine by my side
The silver [C] moon and the evening [Cm] tide
Ah, [G] some sweet day [D7] gonna take away this hurtin' [G] inside [N.C.]

OUTRO:
I'll [D7] never be blue, my dreams come true [D7 open]
On [D7] Blue Bay-[G]-ou (Bo-bo-bo dim-da-dee-ay)
