Sweet Baby James Chords by James Taylor

[G] _ _ _ _ [Em] _ _ _ _
[G] _ _ _ _ _ _ [D] There is a young [A] cowboy _ [G] who lives on [F#m] the range
_ His _ [Bm] horse and [G] his cattle [D] are his only [F#m] _
companions
_ He [Bm] works [G] in the saddle [D] and he sleeps [F#m] in the _ canyons
[G] Waiting [D] for some of [A] his pastures [Em] to _ change _
_ [A] As _ _ _ _ _
[G] _ _ the moon rises [A] he sits [D] by his fire
_ [Bm] Thinking [G] about women and [D] glasses of [A] beer
_ _ [G] _ Closing his eyes as [A] the doggies [D] retire
_ [Bm] He sings out [G] a song which [D] is soft, but it's clear _ [Bm] as if [E] maybe someone could [A] _ hear _ _
Good _ _ _ _ _ [D] _ _
night [G] you _ [D] moonlight _ _ ladies
_ _ [Bm] Rock-a-bye [G]
sweet baby [D] Jane _ _ _ _
[Bm] _ Deep [G] greens and blues are [D] the colors I choose
_ Won't you let me [E] go down in my [G] _ dreams?
[A] _
_ [G] and
Rock-a [A]-bye sweet [D] baby James
_ _ Now the first of [A] December _ [G] was covered [F#m] with snow
_ _ _ _ _ [Bm]
So was [G] the turnpike [D] from Stockbridge [F#m] to Boston
_ _ Though [Bm] the Berkshires [G] seemed dreamlike [D] on account of that, Boston
[F#m] _ [G] With ten [D] miles behind me [A] and ten thousand [Em] more to go
_ _ [A] _ _ _ There's _ [G] a song that they sing when they [D] take to the highway
[Bm] A song that [G] they sing when [D] they take to [A] the sea
_ [G] A song that they sing of [A] their [D] home in the sky
[Bm] Maybe you can [G] believe it [D] if it helps you to sleep
_ [Bm] But singing [E] works just fine for [Em] _ me _
_ _ [A] So _ _ _ _
[D] good night [G] you [D] moonlight _ _ _ ladies
_ [Bm] Rock-a [G]-bye sweet [D] baby Jane _ _
_ _ [Bm] Deep greens [G] and blues are [D] the colors I choose
Won't [Bm] you let me go [E] down in [G] my dreams?
[A] _ _ [G] and
Rock-a [A]-bye sweet baby [D] James _ _ _ _
