AAA
I feel so bad, I got a worried mind;
EE7/6 E7
I'm so lonesome all the time
EE7/6 E7A
Since I left my baby behind on Blue Bayou;
A
Saving nickels, saving dimes,
E
Working till the sun don't shine,
EA
Looking forward to happier times on Blue Bayou.
Refrain:
AAAAE7
I'm going back someday, come what may, to Blue Bayou,
E7E7E7E7A
Where the folks are fine, and the world is mine on Blue Bayou.
AAA7/9 A7
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.
AAA
Gonna see my baby again;
EE7/6 E7
Gonna be with some of my friends
EE7/6 E7A
Maybe I'll feel better again on Blue Bayou
AAA
Saving nickels, saving dimes,
E
Working till the sun don't shine,
EA
Looking forward to happier times on Blue Bayou.
AAA7/9 A7
Oh that girl of mine by my side,
DDDm
The silver moon and the evening time;
AAEA
Oh, some sweet day, gonna take away this hurtin' inside.
EEEE
Well I'd never be blue, my dreams come true
E7E7AA/9 A
On Blue Bay - ou.
