Blue Bayou

A                A6       A
I feel so bad, I got a worried mind;

E                   E7
I'm so lonesome all the time

E                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               E7                     A
Looking forward to happier times on Blue Bayou.



Refrain:

          A            A        A7           E7
I'm going back someday, come what may, to Blue Bayou,

         E7sus4     E7               E7              A
Where the folks are fine, and the world is mine on Blue Bayou.

            A                       A7
Where those fishing boats with their sails afloat,

  D        D   Dm
If I could only see

      A                        E              A       A
That familiar sunrise through sleepy eyes, how happy I'd be.


A                A
Gonna see my baby again;

E                    E7
Gonna be with some of my friends ¬

E                  E7             A 
Maybe I'll feel better again on Blue Bayou

A                     A
Saving nickels, saving dimes, 

E
Working till the sun don't shine,

E                                    A
Looking forward to happier times on Blue Bayou.


Refrain:




         A               A7
Oh that girl of mine by my side,

     D                  Dm
The silver moon and the evening tide;

    A          A          E              A
Oh, some sweet day, gonna take away this hurtin' inside.

          E       E         E6         E
Well I'd never be blue, my dreams come true

  E7  E7    A    A
On Blue  Bay - ou.
