 	 (Bo-bo-bo dim-da-dee-ay)

 	 (band enters)

 	  F
 	 Savin' nickels, savin' dimes
 	 C7/G
 	      Workin' 'til the sun don't shine
 	                                      F          (NC)
 	 Lookin' forward to happier times on Blue Bayou

Bridge 1:

 	            F                                C7
 	 I'm goin' back some day, come what may, to Blue Bayou
 	                                                  F
 	 Where you sleep all day and the catfish play on Blue Bayou
 	            F7
 	 All those fishin' boats with their sails afloat
 	    Bb           Bbm
 	 If I could only see
 	       F                     C7              F               (NC)
 	 That familiar sunrise thru sleepy eyes how happy I'd be

Verse 3:

 	 (Bo-bo-bo dim-da-dee-ay)
 	 Oh, to see my baby again
 	 And to be with some of my friends
 	 Maybe I'd be happy then on Blue Bayou

Bridge 2:

 	 I'm goin' back some day, gonna stay on Blue Bayou
 	 Where the folks are fine and the world is mine on Blue Bayou
 	 Ah, that girl of mine by my side
 	 The silver moon and the evening tide
 	 Ah, some sweet day gonna take away this hurtin' inside

Coda:

 	       C7                                (NC)
 	 I'll never be blue, my dreams come true
 	     Gm     C7   F
 	 On Blue   Bay...ou

 	 (Bo-bo-bo dim-da-dee-ay)  (repeat to fade)
