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

INTRO: [E]

VERSE 1:
[E] I feel so bad I've got a worried mind
I'm so lonesome [B7] all the time
Since I left my baby behind on [E] Blue Bayou [N.C.]

VERSE 2:
(Bo-bo-bo [E] dim-da-dee-ay) [E] Savin' nickels, savin' dimes
[B7] Workin' 'til the sun don't shine
Lookin' forward to happier times on [E] Blue Bayou [N.C.]

BRIDGE 1:
I'm goin' [E] back some day, come what may, to [B7] Blue Bayou
Where you sleep all day and the catfish play on [E] Blue Bayou
All those [E7] fishin' boats with their sails afloat
If [A] I could only [Am] see
That [E] familiar sunrise thru [B7] sleepy eyes how [E] happy I'd be [N.C.]

VERSE 3:
(Bo-bo-bo [E] dim-da-dee-ay) [E] Oh, to see my baby again
[B7] And to be with some of my friends
Maybe I'd be happy then on [E] Blue Bayou [N.C.]

BRIDGE 2:
I'm goin' [E] back some day, gonna stay on [B7] Blue Bayou
Where the folks are fine and the world is mine on [E] Blue Bayou
Ah, that [E7] girl of mine by my side
The silver [A] moon and the evening [Am] tide
Ah, [E] some sweet day [B7] gonna take away this hurtin' [E] inside [N.C.]

OUTRO:
I'll [B7] never be blue, my dreams come true [B7 open]
On [B7] Blue Bay-[E]-ou (Bo-bo-bo dim-da-dee-ay)
