Blue Bayou

Intro 

Eb 

 

  Eb 
I feel so bad I've got a worried mind 
                Bb 
I'm so lonesome all the time 
                               Eb 
Since I left my baby behind on blue bayou 
Eb                         Bb 
Saving nickels saving dimes working till the sun don't shine 
                                    Eb 
Looking forward to happier times on blue bayou 

 

          Eb            Gm        Gbdim       Bb 
I'm going back some day come what may on blue bayou 
                                                Eb 
Where you sleep all day and the catfish play on blue bayou 
          Eb7                                      Ab           Fm Gbdim 
All those fishing boats with their sails afloat if I could only see 
     Gm          Cm           Fm     Bb7      Eb 
That familiar sunrise through sleepy eyes how happy I'd be 



Eb 
Go to see my baby again 
Bb7 
And to be with some of my friends 
                           Eb 
Maybe I'd be happy then on blue bayou 



          Eb            Gm        Gbdim       Bb 
I'm going back some day come what may on blue bayou 

          Eb            Gm        Gbdim       Bb 
I'm going back some day gonna stay on blue bayou 
                                                  Eb 
Where the folks are fine and the world is mine on blue bayou 
        Eb7                         Ab/C                Abm/B 
Oh that girl of mine by my side the silver moon and the evening tide 
   Eb/Bb                Bb7            Eb 
Oh some sweet day gonna take away this hurting inside 
     Bb7                                  Fm   Bb7 Eb 
I'll never be blue my dreams come true on blue bayou
