A A6 A
I feel so bad, I got a worried mind;
E E7/6 E7
I'm so lonesome all the time
E E7/6 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 A
Looking forward to happier times on Blue Bayou.
A A9 A A9 E7
I'm going back someday, come what may, to Blue Bayou,
E7sus4 E7 E7sus4 E7 A
Where the folks are fine, and the world is mine on Blue Bayou.
A9 A A7/9 A7
Where those fishing boats with their sails afloat,
D9 D Dm6
If I could only see
A6 E A9 A
That familiar sunrise through sleepy eyes, how happy I'd be.
A A6 A
Gonna see my baby again;
E E7/6 E7
Gonna be with some of my friends ÂÂ
E E7/6 E7 A
Maybe I'll feel better again on Blue Bayou
A A6 A
Saving nickels, saving dimes,
E
Working till the sun don't shine,
E A
Looking forward to happier times on Blue Bayou.
Chorus
(Instrumental Interlude - half of chorus)
A9 A A7/9 A7
Oh that girl of mine by my side,
D9 D Dm6
The silver moon and the evening tide;
A6 A E A
Oh, some sweet day, gonna take away this hurtin' inside.
E6 E E6 E
Well I'd never be blue, my dreams come true
E7sus4 E7 A A6/9 A
On Blue Bayou.
