Down On The Bayou Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Intro 1]
[G][C][D][G][C][F][G]

[Verse 1]
[G]Catfish
fish into a hole in the floor
of a [C]shanty on the river[G]side
Made in a can, hole in my hand
and a [A]Cajun girl by my [F]side[D]
[G]Bathe in the sun,
watch the river boats run,
hear the [C]tree frogs croak and [G]turn
Stand on a log, [D]gig me a fro[Em]g,
and tomor[C]row won't get [F]up till noon
[G]Down on the bay[F]ou is a place to hav[G]e fun,
I go fish[F]ing till the [C]day is done
[G]And every nig[F]ht I keep the
[C]girls on the run[G],
down on the bay[C]ou
Lay [G]down me, in the shade of a tree
Threw my [C]feet in a sweep of the [G]blue
Little crawdad on a lily pad
He'll be sup[A]per for a retail [D]crew
[G]Big paddle wheel on the way to Mobile Captain
[C]asked me if I wanted [G]prolong
Thanks just to say, but I [D]think I'll remain
[Em]Just a [C]fishin' and a [F]singin' a song
[G]Down on the bay[F]ou is a place to hav[G]e fun
I go fish[F]ing till the [C]day is done
[G]And every nig[F]ht I keep the
[C]girls on the [G]run
Down on the [C]bay[G]ou
[C][G][D][Em][C][F][G]
[A]High and dry, watch a gator swim
Five feet of [D]egg into a hungry squir[A]rel
Eat some catfish stew, steal a kiss or two
From a [B]long -haired Cajun [G]girl[E]
[A]Fill me a raft, have me some laughs
While I [D]float down to New Orleans
[A]But I can't stay long,
gotta get back home
[F#m]To my long -[D]legged Cajun queens[G]
[A]Down on the bay[G]ou is a pla[D]ce to have fun[A]
I go fish[G]ing till the [D]day is [A]done
And every [G]night I keep the
[D]girls on the [A]run
Down on the bay[D]ou[A][D][A][B][G][E][A][D]
Be
