Blue Bayou

• A

  
  A                   A6      A   
I feel so bad, I got a worried mind;   
   
E              E7/6    E7   
I'm so lonesome all the time   
   
E              E7/6    E7       A              
Since I left my baby behind on Blue Bayou;   
   
A   
Saving nickels, saving dimes,    
   
E   
Working till the sun don't shine,   
   
E                                    A   
Looking forward to happier times on Blue Bayou.   

          A      A9      A        A9           E7   
I'm going back someday, come what may, to Blue Bayou,   
   
         E7sus4     E7            E7sus4   E7            A   
Where you sleep all day and the catfish play on Blue Bayou.   
   
          A9       A               A7/9    A7   
All those fishing boats with their sails afloat,   
   
  D9        D   Dm6   
If I could only see   
   
      A6                        E              A9       A   
That familiar sunrise through sleepy eyes, how happy I'd be.   

A            A6     A   
Gonna see my baby again;   
   
E             E7/6        E7   
Gonna be with some of my friends.­   
   
E               E7/6     E7      A    
Maybe I'll feel better again on Blue Bayou.  
   
A                A6      A   
Saving nickels, saving dimes,    
   
E   
Working till the sun don't shine,   
   
E                                    A   
Looking forward to happier times on Blue Bayou.   
   
   
Chorus 2:  
I'm going back some day, gotta stay on Blue Bayou,  
Where the folks are fine and the world is mine on Blue Bayou.  
All those fishing boats with their sails afloat! If I could only see  
That familiar sunrise through sleepy eyes, how happy I'd be.  
   
   
   
(Instrumental Interlude -   half of refrain)   
   
         A9      A  A7/9    A7   
Oh that girl of mine by my side,   
   
     D9     D           Dm6   
The silver moon and the evening tide;   
   
    A6          A          E              A   
Oh, some sweet day, gonna take away this hurtin' inside.   
   
          E6       E         E6         E   
Well I'd never be blue, my dreams come true   
   
  E7sus4  E7 A   A6/9  A   
On Blue  Bayou.
