Blue Bayou - Roy Orbison
C
I feel so bad I've got a worried mind
G7
I'm so lonesome all the time
C
Since I left my baby behind on Blue Bayou
C
Savin' nickels, savin' dimes
G7
Workin' 'til the sun don't shine
C [N.C.]
Lookin' forward to happier times on Blue Bayou
C G7
I'm goin' back some day, come what may, to Blue Bayou
C
Where you sleep all day and the catfish play on Blue Bayou
C7
All those fishin' boats with their sails afloat
F Fm
If I could only see
C G7 C [N.C.]
That familiar sunrise thru sleepy eyes how happy I'd be
C
Oh, to see my baby again
G7
And to be with some of my friends
C
Maybe I'd be happy then on Blue Bayou
C G7
I'm goin' back some day, come what may, to Blue Bayou
C
Where you sleep all day and the catfish play on Blue Bayou
C7
Ah, that girl of mine by my side
F Fm
The silver moon and the evening tide
C G7 C [N.C.]
Ah, some sweet day gonna take away this hurtin' inside
[ N C ] G7
I'll never be blue, my dreams come true
G7 C
On Blue Bay...ou

In Dreams - Roy Orbison
C Am
A candy colored clown they call the sandman

just to sprinkle stardust and to whisper
F G7 C
Go to sleep everything is all right
C Dm
I close my eyes then I drift away
G7 C
into the magic night I softly say
C Dm
a silent prayer like dreamers do
G7 C
Then I fall asleep to dream my dreams of you
G7 F G7 C
In dreams I walk with you in dreams I talk to you
C D7
In dreams you're mine all the time
C Dm G7 C Dm G7
with you ev er in dreams in dreams

But just before the dawn
C Fm C
I awake and find you gone

C F G7
can only happen in my dreams
