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 canyon. 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 And closing his eyes as the doggies retire, Bm G D he sings out a song which is soft but it's clear, Bm E A as if maybe someone would hear...... D G A D Bm G D Good night you moonlight ladies, rock-a-bye sweet baby James. Bm G D Deep greens and blues are the colors I choose, Bm 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 seem dream-like on account of that frostin'? G D A Em A With ten miles behind me and ten thousand more to go -o - o - o 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 maybe you can believe it if it helps you to sleep. Bm E A But singin' works just fine for me ..... (Chorus)
