_ [Eb] _ _ _ _ _
_ [Ab] _ _ _ [Eb] _ _
_ I don't think I've ever played in Boston since I wrote this [Abm] without playing it. _ _ _
_ [Ab] _ _ _ [Fm] _ _
_ [F] _ _ _ _ _
_ [Bb] _ _ _ _ _
[Eb] It is a young [Bb] cowboy, _ [Ab] he lives on the [Gm] range.
_ _ His [Cm] horse and [D] his cattle, they're his [Eb] only [Gm] companions.
_ _ _ He [Cm] works in [Ab] the saddle, and he [Eb] sleeps in the [Gm] canyons.
Just waiting [Eb] for summer, his pastures [Fm] to change.
And _ [Bb] _ _ _ _ _
_ [Ab] as the moon rises, [F] he sits by [Eb] his fire.
[Cm] Just thinking [Ab] about women [Eb] and glasses [C] of beer.
[Ab] And closing his eyes as [Eb] the doggies retire.
[Cm] He sings out [Ab] a song which [Eb] is soft but it's clear. _
[Cm] Just as if maybe [F] someone [Bb] could hear. _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _
He [Eb] says goodnight [Ab] all you _ moonlight _ _ [Eb] ladies.
[Cm] Have rock-a-bye [Ab] sweet baby [Eb] James. _ _
[Cm] He says deep greens [Ab] and blues [Eb] are the colors I choose. _
[Cm] Won't you let me [F] go down in [Bb] my dreams. _ _ _
[Fm] Have rock-a-bye [Bb] sweet [Eb] baby James.
Now _ the first of [Bb] December _ [Ab] was covered with [Gm]
snow.
_ _ [Cm] Guessing so was [Abm] the turnpike [Eb] from Stockbridge, [Gm] Boston. _ _ _
[Cm] Now the virtues that [Ab] seem dreamlike [Eb] on account of that [Gm] frosting.
[Ab] With ten miles [Eb] behind me [Bb] and ten thousand [Fm] more to go.
You should [Bb] know. _
_ _ _ [Ab] There's a song that they sing when they take to the [Eb] highway.
[Cm] A song that [Ab] they sing when [Eb] they take to [Bb] the sea.
_ [Ab] A song that they sing of their home in the [Eb] sky.
[Cm] Maybe you can [Ab] believe it [Eb] if it helps you sleep.
_ [Cm] The singing seemed [F] to work fine for [Bb] me.
_ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ [Eb] So goodnight [Eb] all you _ [Fm] moonlight _ _ ladies.
[Cm] And rock-a-bye [Ab] sweet baby [Eb] _
James.
_ _ _ [C] Deep greens [Ab] and blues [Eb] are the colors I choose.
You [Cm] can let me go [F] down in my [Bb] dreams.
It's _ [Fm] time to rock-a [Eb]-bye sweet baby James. _ _ _ _ _
_ [Ebm] _ _ _ _ _
