Sweet Baby James Chords by James Taylor

_ _ _ _ [Em] _ _
_ [A] _ _ _ _
There [D] is a young [A] cowboy who [G] lives on the [F#m] range _
His _ [Bm] horse and [G] his cattle are [D] his only [F#m] _
companions
_ _ [Bm] He works in [G] the saddle [D] and he sleeps in [F#m] the canyon
_ [G]
Waiting [D] for some of [A] his pastures [Em] to change _
_ _ [A] _ _ _ _
_ _ [G] As 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 [E] the doggies _ [D]
retire
[Bm] He sings out [G] a song which [D] is soft but it's clear
_ [Bm] As if maybe [E]
someone [A] could hear _
_ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ [D] _ Goodnight [G] you _ [A] moonlight _ _ [D]
ladies
_ [Bm] Rock-a [G]-bye sweet [D] baby Jane _ _
_ _ [Bm] Deep [G] greens and blues [D] are the colors I choose
_ [Bm] Won't you let me [E] go down in [A] my dreams _
_ [G] And rock-a [B]-bye sweet baby [D] Jane _ _
_ Now the first of [A]
December [G] was covered with [F#m]
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 [F#m]
Broston
[G] With ten miles [D] behind me [A] and ten thousand [Em]
more to go
_ _ [A] _
_ _ _ _ [G] There's a song that they sing when [A] they take to [D] 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 home in [D] the sky
[Bm] Maybe you [G] can't believe [D] it if it helps you to sleep
[Bm] But singing [E] works just fine [A] for _ me _ _ _
_ _ _ _ [D] So goodnight [G] you moonlight [A] _
_ _ [D] ladies
_ [Bm]
Rock-a-bye [G] sweet baby [D]
Jane
_ _ _ _ [Bm]
Deep greens [G] and blues are [D] the colors I choose
[Bm] Won't you let me go [E] down in my [G] _
dreams
[A] _ _ [G] And rock-a-bye [B] sweet baby [D] Jane
