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

INTRO: [Db]

VERSE 1:
[Db] I feel so bad I've got a worried mind
I'm so lonesome [Ab7] all the time
Since I left my baby behind on [Db] Blue Bayou [N.C.]

VERSE 2:
(Bo-bo-bo [Db] dim-da-dee-ay) [Db] Savin' nickels, savin' dimes
[Ab7] Workin' 'til the sun don't shine
Lookin' forward to happier times on [Db] Blue Bayou [N.C.]

BRIDGE 1:
I'm goin' [Db] back some day, come what may, to [Ab7] Blue Bayou
Where you sleep all day and the catfish play on [Db] Blue Bayou
All those [Db7] fishin' boats with their sails afloat
If [Gb] I could only [Gbm] see
That [Db] familiar sunrise thru [Ab7] sleepy eyes how [Db] happy I'd be [N.C.]

VERSE 3:
(Bo-bo-bo [Db] dim-da-dee-ay) [Db] Oh, to see my baby again
[Ab7] And to be with some of my friends
Maybe I'd be happy then on [Db] Blue Bayou [N.C.]

BRIDGE 2:
I'm goin' [Db] back some day, gonna stay on [Ab7] Blue Bayou
Where the folks are fine and the world is mine on [Db] Blue Bayou
Ah, that [Db7] girl of mine by my side
The silver [Gb] moon and the evening [Gbm] tide
Ah, [Db] some sweet day [Ab7] gonna take away this hurtin' [Db] inside [N.C.]

OUTRO:
I'll [Ab7] never be blue, my dreams come true [Ab7 open]
On [Ab7] Blue Bay-[Db]-ou (Bo-bo-bo dim-da-dee-ay)
