[G] [Em]
[G] [D] There is a young [A] cowboy [Gm] who 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 [D] for some of [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 [A] as 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 [D] moonlight ladies
[Bm] Rock-a [G]-bye sweet [D] baby James
[Bm] Deep greens [G] and blues [D] are the colors I choose
Won't you let me go [E] down in my [G] 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 dreamlike 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 [D] they 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 can [G] 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 [D] moonlight ladies
[Bm] Rock-a-bye [G] 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
