The melody of Blue Bayou by Linda Ronstadt runs 251 notes across 39 bars, 2:51 long in Bb at 104 beats per minute. The tab sits almost entirely in the first two frets, one note at a time — no chords to barre and no strumming pattern to keep up with. A piano backing track plays the chords and bass underneath, so the line you are learning sounds like the record even at half speed.
Prefer to strum and sing it instead? Blue Bayou chords and lyrics.
