[C]
I feel so bad I've got a worried mind
I'm so [G] lonesome [C] all the time
Since I [Gm] left my [C] baby behind on Blue Bayou
[G]
[F] Savin' nickels, savin' [G] dimes
[C] Workin' till the sun don't shine
Lookin' forward to happier times [F] on Blue Bayou
I'm goin' back someday
Gone wide and layin' [C] through Blue Bayou
Where you sleep all day
And the catfish play on Blue [F] Bayou
All those fishin' boats
With their sails afloat
[Bb] If I could [G] only see
That [F] familiar sunrise
[C] Through sleepy eyes
[F] How happy I'd be
Oh, to see my baby again
[C] And to [G] be with some of my friends
[C] Maybe I'd be happier than [Gm] [F] on Blue Bayou
I'm goin' back someday
Gonna stay [C] on Blue Bayou
Where the folks are flyin'
And the world is mine on Blue Bayou
[F]
On that girl of mine
By my side
[Bb] The silver moon and [G] the evening tide
[F] Oh, some sweet day
When [C] we take away [F] this hurtin' inside
[C] I'll never be blue
My dreams come true
On Blue
[F] Bayou
[N]
