[G]
[F#m] [A]
[Bm] [D]
There is a [A] young cowboy [G] who lives on [F#m] the range
[Bm] His horse and [G] his cattle [D] are his only [F#m] companions
He [Bm] works in [G] the [D] saddle and he sleeps in [F#m] the canyons
[G] Waiting [D] for summer, [A] his [Em] pastures to change
And
[A]
[G] as the moon rises [C#] he sits by [D] his fire
[Bm] Thinking [G] about women [D] and bottles [A] of beer
[G] And closing his eyes as [A] the doggies [D] retire
He sings out [G] a song which [D] is soft but it's clear
[A] As if [E] many a song were heard here
[A]
[D] Good night [G] you [C#m] moonlight [D] ladies
[Bm] Rock-a [G]-bye sweet [D] baby James
[Bm] Deep greens [G] and blues [D] are the colors I choose
Won't [Am] you let [E] me go down in [Am] my [C#m] dream
[G] Rock-a-bye [C#m]
sweet [D] baby
Now the first of [A]
December [G] was covered [F#m] with snow
[Bm]
So was [G] the turnpike [D] from [F#m] Stockbridge to Boston
[D] Though the Berkshire [G]
seemed [D] dreamlike on account [F#m] of the [G] frosting
Ten [D] miles behind [A] me, ten [Em] thousand miles to go
[A] There's [G]
a song that they sing when [C#m] they take to [D] the highway
[Bm]
A song [G] that they sing [D] when they take [A] to the sea
[G]
A song that they sing [C#] of their home [D] in the sky
[Bm] Maybe you can [G] believe [D] it if it helps you sleep
[A] But singing [E] works
[A]
[D]
Good night you [G] [A] moonlight [D] ladies
[Bm]
Rock [G]-a-bye sweet [D] baby James
[Bm]
Deep [G] greens and blues [D] are the colors I choose
[E] Won't you let me go down in [A]
my dream
[G]
Rock-a-bye [A] sweet [D] baby James
Happy
[C#] birthday mom, I love you
