_ [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 canyons,
[G]
waiting [D] for some of [A] his pastures to [Em] _ 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 excleat,
[Bm] as if maybe [E]
someone [A] could hear. _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _
_ [D] Good _ [G] night, you _ [A] moonlight _ _ [D]
ladies.
_ [Bm] Rock-a [G]-bye, sweet [D] baby Jane. _ _
_ _ [Bm] Deep greens [G] and blues [D] are the colors I choose.
_ [Bm] Won't you let me [E] go down in [A] my dreams _
and [G] rock-a [B]-bye, sweet baby [D] James. _ _
_ Now the first of [A]
December [G] was covered [F#m] with snow,
so _ _ [Bm] _
was [G] the turnpike [D] from Stockbridge [F#m] to Boston. _
_ [Bm] Though 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 good night, [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 [G] my dreams
[A] _ _ [G] and rock-a-bye, [B] sweet baby [D]
James. _ _ _ _ _
