Verse 1:
  B                B6       B
I feel so bad, I got a worried mind;
Gb                   Gb7
I'm so lonesome all the time
Gb                Gb7               B
Since I left my baby behind on Blue Bayou;
B
Saving nickels, saving dimes,
Gb
Working till the sun don't shine,
Gb               Gb7                     B
Looking forward to happier times on Blue Bayou.

Refrain:
          B            B        B7           Gb7
I'm going back someday, come what may, to Blue Bayou,
         Gb7sus4     Gb7               Gb7              B
Where the folks are fine, and the world is mine on Blue Bayou.
            B                       B7
Where those fishing boats with their sails afloat,
  E        E   Em
If I could only see
      B                        Gb              B       B
That familiar sunrise through sleepy eyes, how happy I'd be.

Bridge:
B                B
Gonna see my baby again;
Gb                    Gb7
Gonna be with some of my friends ¬
Gb                  Gb7             B
Maybe I'll feel better again on Blue Bayou
B                     B
Saving nickels, saving dimes,
Gb
Working till the sun don't shine,
Gb                                    B
Looking forward to happier times on Blue Bayou.

Refrain:
         B               B7
Oh that girl of mine by my side,
     E                  Em
The silver moon and the evening tide;
    B          B          Gb              B
Oh, some sweet day, gonna take away this hurtin' inside.
          Gb       Gb         Gb6         Gb
Well I'd never be blue, my dreams come true
  Gb7  Gb7    B    B
On Blue  Bay - ou.
