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

INTRO: [D]

VERSE 1:
[D] I feel so bad I've got a worried mind
I'm so lonesome [A7] all the time
Since I left my baby behind on [D] Blue Bayou [N.C.]

VERSE 2:
(Bo-bo-bo [D] dim-da-dee-ay) [D] Savin' nickels, savin' dimes
[A7] Workin' 'til the sun don't shine
Lookin' forward to happier times on [D] Blue Bayou [N.C.]

BRIDGE 1:
I'm goin' [D] back some day, come what may, to [A7] Blue Bayou
Where you sleep all day and the catfish play on [D] Blue Bayou
All those [D7] fishin' boats with their sails afloat
If [G] I could only [Gm] see
That [D] familiar sunrise thru [A7] sleepy eyes how [D] happy I'd be [N.C.]

VERSE 3:
(Bo-bo-bo [D] dim-da-dee-ay) [D] Oh, to see my baby again
[A7] And to be with some of my friends
Maybe I'd be happy then on [D] Blue Bayou [N.C.]

BRIDGE 2:
I'm goin' [D] back some day, gonna stay on [A7] Blue Bayou
Where the folks are fine and the world is mine on [D] Blue Bayou
Ah, that [D7] girl of mine by my side
The silver [G] moon and the evening [Gm] tide
Ah, [D] some sweet day [A7] gonna take away this hurtin' [D] inside [N.C.]

OUTRO:
I'll [A7] never be blue, my dreams come true [A7 open]
On [A7] Blue Bay-[D]-ou (Bo-bo-bo dim-da-dee-ay)
