Blue Bayou

4  4  -4  5  5  -5  -4  5  5  -4
I feel so bad I've got a worried mind.

4  -4  5  -5  5  -4  -5  -4
I'm so lonesome all the time,

4  -4  5  -5  5  -4  5  -4  5  4  -5  -5  -4  4
Since I left my baby behind on Blue Bayou.

4  -4  -5  -5  5  -4  -5  -4
Saving nickels, saving dimes,

4  -4  5  -5  5  -4  5  -4
Working 'til the sun don't shine,

4  -4  5  -5  -4  5  -4  5  -4  5  4  -5  -5  -4  4
Looking forward to happier times on Blue Bayou.

7  7  7  7  -7  -7
I'm going back some day,

7  -7  -7  -6  -7  -6  6
Come what may to Blue Bayou.

-6  -7  7  -7  -7
Where you sleep all day,

-6  -7  7  -7  -7  -6  -7  -6  6
And the catfish play on Blue Bayou.

-7  7  -8  7  7
All those fishing boats,

-7  7  -8  7  7
With their sails afloat.

7  -8  7  -6  -5  -4
If I could only see,

-6  -6  -6  6  6  6
That familiar sunrise,

6  -6  -7  -6  5  -4  4  4  4
Through sleepy eyes, how happy I'd be.

4  -4  5  -5  5  -4  -5  -4
Go to see my baby again,

4  -4  5  -5  5  -4  5  -4
And to be with some of my friends.

4  -4  5  -5  5  -4  -5  -4  5  4  -5  -5  -4  4
Maybe I'd be happier then o-n Blue Bayou.

7  7  7  7  -7  -7
I'm going back some day,

7  -7  -7  -6  -7  -6  6
Gonna stay on Blue Bayou.

-6  -7  7  -7  -7
Where the folks are fine,

-6  -7  7  -7  -7  -6  -7  -6  6
And the world is mine on Blue Bayou.

-7  7  -8  7  7
Oh, that girl of mine,

-8  7  7  7  -8  7  -6
By my side, the silver moon,

-5  -5  -4  4  4
And the evening tide.

4  -4  4  4
Oh, some sweet day,

4  4  -4  5  -4  -3bb  -2  -2bb  -2bb  -2bb
Gonna take away this hurtin' inside.

4  -4  4  4  4  4  -4  5  -4
I'll never be blue, my dreams come true,

4  -4  -6  -5
On Blue Bayou.
