blue bayou chords
roy orbison *

F
i feel so bad ive got a worried mind ,
C7
im so lonesome all the time;
F
since i left my baby behind on blue bayou

F C7
saving nickels , saving dimes , working till the sun dont shine
F
looking forward to happier times , on blue bayou

F C7
im going back some day , come what may , to blue bayou
F
where you sleep all day , and the catfish play , on blue bayou
F7 A# A#m
all those fishing boats , with their sails afloat , if i could only see
F C7 F
that familiar sunrise , through sleepy eyes , how happy id be

F
go to see my baby again ,
C7
and to be with some of my friends
F
maybe id be happy then , on blue bayou

F C7
im going back some day , gonna stay , on blue bayou
F
where the folks are fine , and the world is mine , on blue bayou
F7 A# A#m
oh , that girl of mine , by my side , the silver moon and the evening tide
F C7 F
oh , some sweet day , gonna take away , this hurting inside

ill never be blue , my dreams come true , on blue bayou
