D A G F#m F#mThere is a young cowboy, he lives on the range,

Bm G D F#m F#mHis horse and his cattle are his only companions,

Bm G D F#mHe works in the saddle and he sleeps in the canyons ,

G D A Em Em A AWaiting for summer, his pastures to change.

G G A7sus4 DAnd as the moon rises he sits by his fire,

Bm G D AThinking about women and glasses of beer,

G G A7sus4 DAnd closing his eyes as the doggies retire,

Bm G D DHe sings out a song which is soft but it's clear,

E7sus4 E7 A7sus4 A7sus4 A7 A7As if maybe someone could hear.

Chorus:D G A7 D

He says goodnight you moonlight ladies, Bm G D D

Rock-a-bye sweet baby James, Bm G D D

Deep greens and blues are the colors I choose,E7 E7 A7sus4 A7

Won't you let me go down in my dreams, G A D D

And rock-a-by sweet baby James.

D A G F#m F#mNow the first of December was covered with snow,

Bm G D F#m F#mAnd so was the turnpike from Stockbridge to Boston,

Bm G D F#mThe Birkshires seemed dream-like on account of that frostin',

G D A Em Em A AWith ten miles behind me and ten thousand more to g o.

G G A7 DThere's a song that they sing when they take to the highway,

Bm G D AA song that they sing when they take to the sea,

G G A7 DA song that they sing of their home in the sky,

Bm G D DMaybe you can believe it, if it helps you to sleep,

E7sus4 E7 A7sus4 A7sus4 A7 A7But singing works just fine for me.

Chorus.D G A7 D

So goodnight you moonlight ladies, Bm G D D

Rock-a-bye sweet baby James, Bm G D D

Deep greens and blues are the colors I choose,E7 E7 A7sus4 A7

Won't you let me go down in my dreams, G A7 D D

And rock-a-by sweet baby James.
