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

INTRO: [Gb]

VERSE 1:
[Gb] I feel so bad I've got a worried mind
I'm so lonesome [Db7] all the time
Since I left my baby behind on [Gb] Blue Bayou [N.C.]

VERSE 2:
(Bo-bo-bo [Gb] dim-da-dee-ay) [Gb] Savin' nickels, savin' dimes
[Db7] Workin' 'til the sun don't shine
Lookin' forward to happier times on [Gb] Blue Bayou [N.C.]

BRIDGE 1:
I'm goin' [Gb] back some day, come what may, to [Db7] Blue Bayou
Where you sleep all day and the catfish play on [Gb] Blue Bayou
All those [Gb7] fishin' boats with their sails afloat
If [B] I could only [Bm] see
That [Gb] familiar sunrise thru [Db7] sleepy eyes how [Gb] happy I'd be [N.C.]

VERSE 3:
(Bo-bo-bo [Gb] dim-da-dee-ay) [Gb] Oh, to see my baby again
[Db7] And to be with some of my friends
Maybe I'd be happy then on [Gb] Blue Bayou [N.C.]

BRIDGE 2:
I'm goin' [Gb] back some day, gonna stay on [Db7] Blue Bayou
Where the folks are fine and the world is mine on [Gb] Blue Bayou
Ah, that [Gb7] girl of mine by my side
The silver [B] moon and the evening [Bm] tide
Ah, [Gb] some sweet day [Db7] gonna take away this hurtin' [Gb] inside [N.C.]

OUTRO:
I'll [Db7] never be blue, my dreams come true [Db7 open]
On [Db7] Blue Bay-[Gb]-ou (Bo-bo-bo dim-da-dee-ay)
