Lyrics & chords

[Intro 1]
[D][D][D][D]

[Verse 1]
I [D]feel so bad I've got a worried mind
I'm so [A]lonesome all the time
Since I left my baby behind
on [D]Blue [C]Bayou[D]
[D]Savin' nickels, savin' dimes
[A]Workin' till the sun don't shine
Lookin' forward to happier times
on [D]Blue [C]Bayou[D]

[Chorus 1]
I'm goin' [D]back some day,
come what may, to [A]Blue Bayou
Where you sleep all day
and the catfish play on [D]Blue Bayou
All those fishin' boats with their sails afloat,
if [G]I could only s[Gm]ee
That fa[D]miliar sunrise through [A]sleepy eyes
how [D]happy I'd [C]be[D]

[Verse 2]
[D]Oh, to see my baby again
[A]And to be with some of my friends
Maybe I'd be happy then on [D]Blue Bayou
[C][D]

[Chorus 2]
I'm goin' [D]back some day,
gonna stay on [A]Blue Bayou
Where the folks are fine
and the world is mine on [D]Blue Bayou
Ah, that girl of mine by my side
The [G]silver moon and the [Gm]evening tide
Ah, [D]some sweet day gonna [A]take away
this [D]hurtin' [C]inside[D]

[Outro 1]
I'll [A]never be blue, my dreams come true
on Blue Bay[D]ou
[D][D][D][D]
[Fade out]
