Blue Bayou

Chords & Lyrics, etc. · v1

    F                                  
I feel so bad I've got a worried mind,
 F                            C7
I'm so lonesome all the time;
 C                       C7      
since I left my baby behind
      F
on blue bayou

F                                  
Saving nickels, saving dimes,
C
working till the sun don't shine
C
Looking forward to happier times,
      F
On blue bayou

                  F                                                         C                      C7
I'm going back some day, come what may, to blue bayou
                   C                                   C7                      F
Where you sleep all day, and the catfish play, on blue bayou

                 F7                                                            Bb                Bbm
All those fishing boats, with their sails afloat, if I could only see
         F                                         C7        C                F
That familiar sunrise, through sleepy eyes, how happy I'd be

 

F                        
Oh, to see my baby again,
C                       C7
and to be with some of my friends
C                    C7
Maybe I'd be happy then,
     F
on blue bayou

                  F                                                   C                  C7
I'm going back some day, gonna stay, on blue bayou
                    C                                  C7                         F
Where the folks are fine, and the world is mine, on blue bayou

               F7                                            Bb                             Bbm
Oh, that girl of mine, by my side, the silver moon and the evening tide
         F                                    C7        C            F
Oh, some sweet day, gonna take away, this hurting inside

     C7                    C                              C7       Gm   C7  F
I'll never be blue, my dreams come true, on blue bayou
