Blue Bayou
Roy Orbison (with Joe Melson, 1963)

4/4 | d - R u - u d u |  Gently

| [C]   | [C]
I [C] feel so bad I've got a worried mind
[G7] I'm so lonesome, all the time
[G7] Since I left my baby behind on [C] Blue Bayou [C]
[C] Saving nickels, saving dimes
[G7] Working 'til the sun don't shine
[G7] Looking forward to happier times on [C] Blue Bayou [C]

I'm going [C] back some day, come what may to [G7] Blue Bayou [G7]
Where you [G7] sleep all day, and the catfish play on [C] Blue Bayou [C]
All those [C] fishing boats with their [C7] sails afloat
If [F] I could only [Fm↓] see
That fa- [C] miliar sunrise, through [G7] sleepy eyes
How [C] happy I'd be [C]

[C] Oh to see my baby again
[G7] And to be with some of my friends
[G7] Maybe I'll be happy then on [C] Blue Bayou [C]

I'm going [C] back some day, gonna stay on [G7] Blue Bayou [G7]
Where the [G7] folks are fine and the world is mine on [C] Blue Bayou [C]
Ah that [C] girl of mine [C7] by my side
The [F] silver moon and the [Fm↓] evening tide
Oh [C] some sweet day, gonna [G7] take away
This [C] hurtin' inside [C]
I'll [G7] never be blue, my dreams come true
On [G7] Blue [G7] Ba- [C] you [C]  / [C]  / [C↓]

1 2 3 4 &

Intro
| [D] | [G] | [A] | [A] |

[D] Where is the [G] moment we needed the [A] most [A]
[D] You kick up the [G] leaves and the magic is [A] lost [A]
[Bm] They tell me your [A] blue skies fade to [G] grey
They tell me your [D] passion's gone a- [Em] way
And I don't [Em] need no carryin' [A] on [A]
[D] You stand in the [G] line just ahead of the [A] law [A]
[D] You're faking a [G] smile with the coffee you [A] go [A]
[Bm] You tell me your [A] life's been way off [G] line
You're falling to [D] pieces every- [Em] time
And I don't [Em] need no carryin' [A] on [A↓]

Chorus
Cause you had a bad [D] day, you're taking one [G] down
You sing a sad [Em] song just to turn it a- [A] round
You say you don't [D] know, you tell me don't [G] lie
You work at a [Em] smile and you go for a [A] ride
You had a bad [Bm] day, the camera don't [A] lie
You're coming back [G] down and you really don't [D] mind
You had a bad [Em] day [A]
You had a bad [D] day [G] [A] [A]
[D] [G] [A] [A]

[Bm] Well, you need a [A] blue sky holi- [G] day
The point is they [D] laugh at what you [Em] say
And I don't [Em] need no carryin' [A] on [A]

Chorus
Cause you had a bad [D] day, you're taking one [G] down
You sing a sad [Em] song just to turn it a- [A] round
You say you don't [D] know, you tell me don't [G] lie
You work at a [Em] smile and you go for a [A] ride
You had a bad [Bm] day, the camera don't [A] lie
You're coming back [G] down and you really don't [D] mind
You had a bad [Em] day | [Em] | [Em]

Bridge
[F] Sometimes the system | goes on the blink
And the [Bb] whole thing it turns out | wrong
[F] You might not make it | back and you know
That you could [Bb] be well, oh that | strong
And I'm not [Asus4] wrong | [Asus4] | [A] | [A] |

[D] So where is the [G] passion when you need it the [A] most [A]
Oh, you and [D] I, you kick up the [G] leaves and the magic is [A] lost | [A]

Chorus
Cause you had a bad [D] day, you're taking one [G] down
You sing a sad [Em] song just to turn it a- [A] round
You say you don't [D] know, you tell me don't [G] lie
You work at a [Em] smile and you go for a [A] ride
You had a bad [Bm] day, you've seen what you [Bb] like
And how does it [D] feel for one more [E7] time
You had a bad [G] day [A]
You had a bad [D] day [G] [Em] [A]
[D] [G] [Em] [A] [D↓]
