[Start]

[Verse]
G Em7 Asus4 D                A         G            Gbm  
■ ■   ■     There is a young cowboy he lives on the range
Bm                G              D    Gbm       
His horse and his cattle are his only companions
Bm7             G          D             Gbm    
He works in the saddle and sleeps in the canyons
G           D          A           Em7    A
Waiting for summer his pastures to change ■


[Chorus]
G                        Asus4       D   
And as the moon rises he sits by his fire
Bm7      Bm    G         D              
Thinking about women and glasses of beer
A   G                       Asus4   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          E7            A    Asus4 A
As if maybe someone could hear ■     ■


[Verse]
A7 D         G             Asus4  D
■  Goodnight you moonlight ladies ■
Bm       G          D    
Rockabye sweet baby James
Bm              G             D              
Deep greens and blues are the colors I choose
          Bm7       E7         Asus4  A
Won't you let me go down in my dreams ■
G            A          D    
And rockabye sweet baby James
                 A            G            Gbm 
Now the first of December was covered with snow
Bm         G             D              Gbm   
So was the turnpike from Stockbridge to Boston
Bm                    G            D               Gb7      Gbm
The Berkshires seemed dreamlike on account of that frosting ■  
G              D             A            Em7        A7 A
With ten miles behind me and ten thousand more to go ■  ■


[Chorus]
A7           G                             Asus4       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                            Asus4       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
Bm7               E7            Asus4 A
But singing works just fine for me    ■
D                G         A      Asus4 D
So goodnight you moonlight ladies ■     ■
Bm       G          D    
Rockabye sweet baby James
Bm              G             D              
Deep greens and blues are the colors I choose
          Bm7       E7         Asus4  G A
Won't you let me go down in my dreams ■ ■
G            A          D    
And rockabye sweet baby James
