Verse 1AA6A
I feel so bad, I got a worried mind;
EE7
I'm so lonesome all the time
EE7A
Since I left my baby behind on Blue Bayou;
A
Saving nickels, saving dimes,
E
Working till the sun don't shine,
EE7A
Looking forward to happier times on Blue Bayou.
[Refrain]
AAA7E7
I'm going back someday, come what may, to Blue Bayou,
E7sus4E7E7A
Where the folks are fine, and the world is mine on Blue Bayou.
AA7
Where those fishing boats with their sails afloat,
DDDm
If I could only see
AEAA
That familiar sunrise through sleepy eyes, how happy I'd be.
BridgeAA
Gonna see my baby again;
EE7
Gonna be with some of my friends ¬
EE7A
Maybe I'll feel better again on Blue Bayou
AA
Saving nickels, saving dimes,
E
Working till the sun don't shine,
EA
Looking forward to happier times on Blue Bayou.
[Refrain]
AA7
Oh that girl of mine by my side,
DDm
The silver moon and the evening tide;
AAEA
Oh, some sweet day, gonna take away this hurtin' inside.
EEE6E
Well I'd never be blue, my dreams come true
E7E7AA
On Blue Bay - ou.
