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

INTRO: [C#]

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

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

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

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

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

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