[D]
[B] [Em] [A]
[D] There is a young [A] cowboy
[G] who lives on [F#m] the range.
[Bm] His horse and [G] his cattle [D] are 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 summer, [A] his pastures [E] to [Em] change.
[A]
[G] And as the moon rises [A] he sits by [D] his fire,
[Bm] Thinking [G] about women [D] and glasses [A] of beer.
[D] [G] And closing his eyes while [A] the doggies [D] retire,
[Bm] He sings [G] out a song which [D] is [G] soft but it's [D] clear,
[G] As if [E] maybe someone [A] could hear it.
[G] [D]
[C#] [D] Goodnight, [G] you [A] moonlight [D] ladies,
[Bm] Rock-a [G]-bye sweet baby [D]
[G] James,
[D] [B] Deep [F#] greens [G] and blues are [D] the colors I choose.
[E] Won't you let me go down in [A] my dreams,
[G] And rock-a [A]-bye sweet baby [D] James.
Now the first of [A] December,
[G] [F#m]
[Bm] So [A] was [G] the turnpike [D] from Stockbridge [F#m] to Boston,
Though [Bm] the Berkshires [G] seemed dreamlike [D] on account [F#m] of that frosting.
[G] With ten [D] miles behind me, [A]
ten [E] thousand more to [Em] go.
[A] [G] There's a song that they sing when [A] they take to [D] the highway,
[B] A song that they [G] sing when they [D] take to [A] the sea,
[D] A [G] song that they sing of [A] their home in [D] the sky.
[Bm] Maybe you can [G]
believe [D] it if it helps you sleep,
[E] Singing works just fine for [A]
me.
[D] So goodnight, [G] you [A] moonlight [D] ladies,
[B] Rock-a [G]-bye sweet baby [D]
[G] James,
[D] [Bm] Deep greens [G] and blues [D] are the colors I choose.
[E] Won't you let me go down in [A] my [D] [A] dreams,
[G] And rock-a-bye [A] sweet [D] baby James.
