F I feel so bad I've got a worried mind, C7 I'm so lonesome all the time; F since I left my baby behind on blue bayou Saving nickels, saving dimes Working 'till the sun don't shine Looking forward to happier times On Blue Bayou Chorus: F I'm going back some day, come what may, C7 to blue bayou Where you sleep all day, and the catfish play, F on blue bayou F7 All those fishing boats, with their sails afloat, A# A#m if I could only see F C7 That familiar sunrise, through sleepy eyes, F how happy I'd be Go to see my baby again And to be with some of my friends Maybe I'd be happy then on Blue Bayou Chorus: I'm going back some day Gonna stay on Blue Bayou Where the folks are fine And the world is mine On Blue Bayou Oh, that girl of mine by my side The silver moon and the evening tide Oh, some sweet day gonna take away This hurtin' inside I'll never be blue My dreams come true on Blue Bayou You can simplify chords by removing barre | TransposeReset Font SizeReset Guitar Chord DiagramsA#  A#m  C7  F  F7  Here you can see detailed diagrams for each guitar chord used in the song.
