Blue bayou

Tom: A

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. 
 
 
 
Refrain: 
 
          A      A9      A        A9           E7 
I'm going back someday, come what may, to Blue Bayou, 
 
         E7/4       E7            E7/4     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. 
 
 
Refrain: 
 
 
 
(Instrumental Interlude -   half of refrain) 
 
         A9      A  A7/9    A7 
Oh that girl of mine by my side, 
 
     D9     D           Dm6 
The silver moon and the evening time; 
 
    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 
 
  E7/4    E7    A   A6/9  A 
On Blue  Bay - ou.
