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

INTRO: [G#]

VERSE 1:
[G#] I feel so bad I've got a worried mind
I'm so lonesome [D#7] all the time
Since I left my baby behind on [G#] Blue Bayou [N.C.]

VERSE 2:
(Bo-bo-bo [G#] dim-da-dee-ay) [G#] Savin' nickels, savin' dimes
[D#7] Workin' 'til the sun don't shine
Lookin' forward to happier times on [G#] Blue Bayou [N.C.]

BRIDGE 1:
I'm goin' [G#] back some day, come what may, to [D#7] Blue Bayou
Where you sleep all day and the catfish play on [G#] Blue Bayou
All those [G#7] fishin' boats with their sails afloat
If [C#] I could only [C#m] see
That [G#] familiar sunrise thru [D#7] sleepy eyes how [G#] happy I'd be [N.C.]

VERSE 3:
(Bo-bo-bo [G#] dim-da-dee-ay) [G#] Oh, to see my baby again
[D#7] And to be with some of my friends
Maybe I'd be happy then on [G#] Blue Bayou [N.C.]

BRIDGE 2:
I'm goin' [G#] back some day, gonna stay on [D#7] Blue Bayou
Where the folks are fine and the world is mine on [G#] Blue Bayou
Ah, that [G#7] girl of mine by my side
The silver [C#] moon and the evening [C#m] tide
Ah, [G#] some sweet day [D#7] gonna take away this hurtin' [G#] inside [N.C.]

OUTRO:
I'll [D#7] never be blue, my dreams come true [D#7 open]
On [D#7] Blue Bay-[G#]-ou (Bo-bo-bo dim-da-dee-ay)
