Linda Ronstadt - Blue Bayou - Key of C
Written by Roy Orbison
[Verse 1]
C G
I feel so bad, I got a worried mind; I'm so lonesome all the time
G C
Since I left my baby behind on Blue Bayou
C G
Saving nickels, saving dimes; working till the sun don't shine
G C
Looking forward to happier times on Blue Bayou
[Chorus 1]
C G
I'm going back someday, come what may to Blue Bayou
G C
Where the folks are fine, and the world is mine on Blue Bayou
C C7 F Fm6
Where those fishing boats with their sails afloat, if I could only see
C G C
That familiar sunrise through sleepy eyes, how happy I'd be
[Verse 2]
C G
Gonna see my baby again; Gonna be with some of my friends
G C
Maybe I'll feel better again on Blue Bayou
C C G
Saving nickels, saving dimes; working till the sun don't shine
G G C
Looking forward to happier times on Blue Bayou
[Chorus 2]
C G
I'm going back someday, come what may to Blue Bayou
G C
Where the folks are fine, and the world is mine on Blue Bayou
C C7 F Fm6
Where those fishing boats with their sails afloat, if I could only see
C G C
That familiar sunrise through sleepy eyes, how happy I'd be
[Instrumental]
C C G G
G G C C
[Outro]
C C7 F Fm6
Oh, that boy of mine by my side, the silver moon and the evening time
C G C
Oh, some sweet day, gonna take away this hurtin' inside
G
Well, I'd never be blue, my dreams come true
G G C
On Blue Ba - you
