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