BLUE BAYOU      -       Linda Ronstadt
 
 
 
 B                     B6     B
  I feel so bad, I got a worried mind;
 F#             F#7
  I'm so lonesome all the time
 F#             F#7          B
 Since I left my baby behind on Blue Bayou;
 B
  Saving nickels, saving dimes, 
 F#
  Working till the sun don't shine,
 F#                F#7             B
  Looking forward to happier times on Blue Bayou.
 
chorus:
         B           B                 F#7
I'm going back someday, come what may, to Blue Bayou,
         F#7sus4
Where the folks are fine, 
       F#7             B
and the world is mine on Blue Bayou.
           B7
Where those fishing boats with their sails afloat, 
  E           Em
If I could only see
        B                     F#
That fa- miliar sunrise through sleepy eyes, 
   B
how happy I'd be.
 
 B           B6
  Gonna see my baby again;
 F#           F#7
  Gonna be with some of my friends 
 F#             F#7
  Maybe I'll feel better again 
  B
on Blue Bayou
 B
  Saving nickels, saving dimes, 
 F#
  Working till the sun don't shine,
 F#
  Looking forward to happier times 
  B
on Blue Bayou.
 
chorus:
         B           B                 F#7
I'm going back someday, come what may, to Blue Bayou,
         F#7sus4
Where the folks are fine, 
       F#7             B
and the world is mine on Blue Bayou.
           B7
Where those fishing boats with their sails afloat, 
  E           Em
If I could only see
        B                     F#
That fa- miliar sunrise through sleepy eyes, 
   B
how happy I'd be.
 
Break:   B ? F#7 ? F#7sus4 ? F#7 ?B
 
        B7
Oh that    man of mine by my side,
   E                  Em
The silver moon and the evening tide;
  B                    F#             B
Oh, some sweet day, gonna take away this hurtin' inside.
        F#               F#6        F#
Well I'd never be blue, my dreams come true
   F#7       B
On Blue  Bay - ou.//

Personally I don't hear the B6 or F#7 in the verses, at least in the Linda version. Here's your version trimmed down a bit in case anyone else finds it useful: I feel so bad, I got a worried mind; F# I'm so lonesome all the time F# B Since I left my baby behind on Blue Bayou B Saving nickels, saving dimes F# Working till the sun don't shine F# B Looking forward to happier times on Blue Bayou. Chorus: B F# I'm going back someday, come what may, to Blue Bayou B Where the folks are fine, and the world is mine on Blue Bayou. B7 Where those fishing boats with their sails afloat E Em If I could only see B F# That familiar sunrise through sleepy eyes B how happy I'd be. Gonna see my baby again F# Gonna be with some of my friends F# Maybe I'll feel better again B on Blue Bayou B Saving nickels, saving dimes, F# Working till the sun don't shine, Looking forward to happier times B on Blue Bayou. [Chorus] [instrumental over first 2 lines of chorus] [In melody of chorus:] B7 Oh that boy of mine by my side, E Em The silver moon and the evening tide; B F# B Oh, some sweet day, gonna take away this hurtin' inside. Ending: F# Well I'd never be blue, my dreams come true B On Blue Bayou.

Change "... with that girl of mine by my side" to "... that mand of mine " if you want it to be the way Ronstadt sings the song.

thanks for the comment. I listened again and my line's wrong. I don't know if there are more versions (studio) but I hear "... boy of mine..." so i'll change it to that.
