D A G F#m
There is a young cowboy, he lives on the range
Bm G D F#m
His horse and his cattle are his only companions
Bm G D F#m
He works in the saddle and he sleeps in the canyons
G D A Em A
Waiting for summer, his pastures to change
G A D
And as the moon rises he sits by his fire
Bm G D A
Thinkin' about women and glasses of beer
G A D
Closing his eyes as the dogies retire
Bm G D E
He sings out a song which is soft but it's clear
Bm7 E A
As if maybe someone could hear
D G A D
Goodnight you moonlight ladies
Bm G D
Rock-a-bye sweet baby James
Bm G D
Deep greens and blues are the colors I choose
Bm7 E A
Won't you let me go down in my dreams
G A D
And rock-a-bye sweet baby James
D A G F#m
Now the first of December was covered with snow
Bm G D F#m
And so was the turnpike from Stockbridge to Boston
Bm G D F#m
Lord, the Berkshires seemed dreamlike on account of that frosting
G D A Em A
With ten miles behind me and ten thousand more to go
G A D
There's a song that they sing when they take to the highway
Bm G D A
A song that they sing when they take to the sea
G A D
A song that they sing of their home in the sky
Bm G D E
Maybe you can believe it if it helps you to sleep
A E A
But singing works just fine for me
D G A D
Goodnight you moonlight ladies
Bm G D
Rock-a-bye sweet baby James
Bm G D
Deep greens and blues are the colors I choose
Bm7 E A
Won't you let me go down in my dreams
G A D
And rock-a-bye sweet baby James
