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

INTRO: [Eb]

VERSE 1:
[Eb] I feel so bad I've got a worried mind
I'm so lonesome [Bb7] all the time
Since I left my baby behind on [Eb] Blue Bayou [N.C.]

VERSE 2:
(Bo-bo-bo [Eb] dim-da-dee-ay) [Eb] Savin' nickels, savin' dimes
[Bb7] Workin' 'til the sun don't shine
Lookin' forward to happier times on [Eb] Blue Bayou [N.C.]

BRIDGE 1:
I'm goin' [Eb] back some day, come what may, to [Bb7] Blue Bayou
Where you sleep all day and the catfish play on [Eb] Blue Bayou
All those [Eb7] fishin' boats with their sails afloat
If [Ab] I could only [Abm] see
That [Eb] familiar sunrise thru [Bb7] sleepy eyes how [Eb] happy I'd be [N.C.]

VERSE 3:
(Bo-bo-bo [Eb] dim-da-dee-ay) [Eb] Oh, to see my baby again
[Bb7] And to be with some of my friends
Maybe I'd be happy then on [Eb] Blue Bayou [N.C.]

BRIDGE 2:
I'm goin' [Eb] back some day, gonna stay on [Bb7] Blue Bayou
Where the folks are fine and the world is mine on [Eb] Blue Bayou
Ah, that [Eb7] girl of mine by my side
The silver [Ab] moon and the evening [Abm] tide
Ah, [Eb] some sweet day [Bb7] gonna take away this hurtin' [Eb] inside [N.C.]

OUTRO:
I'll [Bb7] never be blue, my dreams come true [Bb7 open]
On [Bb7] Blue Bay-[Eb]-ou (Bo-bo-bo dim-da-dee-ay)
