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

INTRO: [Bb]

VERSE 1:
[Bb] I feel so bad I've got a worried mind
I'm so lonesome [F7] all the time
Since I left my baby behind on [Bb] Blue Bayou [N.C.]

VERSE 2:
(Bo-bo-bo [Bb] dim-da-dee-ay) [Bb] Savin' nickels, savin' dimes
[F7] Workin' 'til the sun don't shine
Lookin' forward to happier times on [Bb] Blue Bayou [N.C.]

BRIDGE 1:
I'm goin' [Bb] back some day, come what may, to [F7] Blue Bayou
Where you sleep all day and the catfish play on [Bb] Blue Bayou
All those [Bb7] fishin' boats with their sails afloat
If [Eb] I could only [Ebm] see
That [Bb] familiar sunrise thru [F7] sleepy eyes how [Bb] happy I'd be [N.C.]

VERSE 3:
(Bo-bo-bo [Bb] dim-da-dee-ay) [Bb] Oh, to see my baby again
[F7] And to be with some of my friends
Maybe I'd be happy then on [Bb] Blue Bayou [N.C.]

BRIDGE 2:
I'm goin' [Bb] back some day, gonna stay on [F7] Blue Bayou
Where the folks are fine and the world is mine on [Bb] Blue Bayou
Ah, that [Bb7] girl of mine by my side
The silver [Eb] moon and the evening [Ebm] tide
Ah, [Bb] some sweet day [F7] gonna take away this hurtin' [Bb] inside [N.C.]

OUTRO:
I'll [F7] never be blue, my dreams come true [F7 open]
On [F7] Blue Bay-[Bb]-ou (Bo-bo-bo dim-da-dee-ay)
