[E] I feel so [B] bad I [E] got to work alone and feel [B] un-done all the time
since I left my baby behind [E] home alone by a year
[Ab] [E] saving nickels, saving dimes [B] working till the sun don't shine
looking forward to happier [E] times on Blue Bayou
[D] I'm [E] going back someday, come what may, [Gbm] to Blue Bayou
where [B] you sleep all day and the catfish play [E] on Blue Bayou
on a fishing boat with [Ab] me sailor's boat [A] if I could only [Am] see
that [E] familiar sunrise [B] through sleepy eyes [E] how happy I'd be
oh to see my baby [B] again and to be with some of my friends
baby I'd be happy then [E] on Blue Bayou
I'm going back someday, gonna stay on [Gbm] Blue Bayou
where [B] the folks are fine and the world is [E] mine, Blue Bayou
all I've got on [Ab] my mind by my side [A] is a silver moon [Am] in the evening sky
[E] some sweet day, [B] gonna feel the way [E] they're certain inside
[B] I'll never be blue, my dreams come true on Blue [E] Bayou
[N] Blue Bayou
since I left my baby behind [E] home alone by a year
[Ab] [E] saving nickels, saving dimes [B] working till the sun don't shine
looking forward to happier [E] times on Blue Bayou
[D] I'm [E] going back someday, come what may, [Gbm] to Blue Bayou
where [B] you sleep all day and the catfish play [E] on Blue Bayou
on a fishing boat with [Ab] me sailor's boat [A] if I could only [Am] see
that [E] familiar sunrise [B] through sleepy eyes [E] how happy I'd be
oh to see my baby [B] again and to be with some of my friends
baby I'd be happy then [E] on Blue Bayou
I'm going back someday, gonna stay on [Gbm] Blue Bayou
where [B] the folks are fine and the world is [E] mine, Blue Bayou
all I've got on [Ab] my mind by my side [A] is a silver moon [Am] in the evening sky
[E] some sweet day, [B] gonna feel the way [E] they're certain inside
[B] I'll never be blue, my dreams come true on Blue [E] Bayou
