D6 
I feel so bad Ive got a worried mind 
B 
Im so lonesome all the time 
A                              D6 
Since I left my baby behind on blue bayou 
 
D6                            B 
Saving nickels, saving dimes, working till the sun don't shine 
A                                   D6 
Looking forward to happier times on blue bayou 
 
D                                       B 
Im going back some day come what may to blue bayou 
A                                               D 
Where you sleep all day and the catfish play on blue bayou 
D7                                                   G 
All those fishing boats with their sails afloat if I could only  
Gm 
see 
D6                            B      A         D6 
That familiar sunrise through sleepy eyes, how happy I'd be 
 
D6 
Go to see my baby again 
B 
And to be with some of my friends 
A                          D6 
Maybe I'd be happy then on blue bayou 
 
D6                            B 
Saving nickels, saving dimes, working till the sun don't shine 
A                                   D6 
Looking forward to happier times on blue bayou 
 
D                                     B 
Im going back some day, gonna stay on blue bayou 
          A                                       D 
Where the folks are fine and the world is mine on blue bayou 
         D7                          G                   Gm 
Oh, that girl of mine by my side the silver moon and the evening tide 
D                        A                     D 
Oh, some sweet day gonna take away this hurtin inside 
B                     A                   G    A   D6 
Ill never be blue, my dreams come true on blue bayou
