Blue bayou

	  		  
 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 ­   
   
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.

(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

On Blue  Bayou.
