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

INTRO: [Ab]

VERSE 1:
[Ab] I feel so bad I've got a worried mind
I'm so lonesome [Eb7] all the time
Since I left my baby behind on [Ab] Blue Bayou [N.C.]

VERSE 2:
(Bo-bo-bo [Ab] dim-da-dee-ay) [Ab] Savin' nickels, savin' dimes
[Eb7] Workin' 'til the sun don't shine
Lookin' forward to happier times on [Ab] Blue Bayou [N.C.]

BRIDGE 1:
I'm goin' [Ab] back some day, come what may, to [Eb7] Blue Bayou
Where you sleep all day and the catfish play on [Ab] Blue Bayou
All those [Ab7] fishin' boats with their sails afloat
If [Db] I could only [Dbm] see
That [Ab] familiar sunrise thru [Eb7] sleepy eyes how [Ab] happy I'd be [N.C.]

VERSE 3:
(Bo-bo-bo [Ab] dim-da-dee-ay) [Ab] Oh, to see my baby again
[Eb7] And to be with some of my friends
Maybe I'd be happy then on [Ab] Blue Bayou [N.C.]

BRIDGE 2:
I'm goin' [Ab] back some day, gonna stay on [Eb7] Blue Bayou
Where the folks are fine and the world is mine on [Ab] Blue Bayou
Ah, that [Ab7] girl of mine by my side
The silver [Db] moon and the evening [Dbm] tide
Ah, [Ab] some sweet day [Eb7] gonna take away this hurtin' [Ab] inside [N.C.]

OUTRO:
I'll [Eb7] never be blue, my dreams come true [Eb7 open]
On [Eb7] Blue Bay-[Ab]-ou (Bo-bo-bo dim-da-dee-ay)
