SWEET BABY JAMES CHORDS

[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
Bm              G          D             Gbm    
He works in the saddle and sleeps in the canyons
G                      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            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               Gbm     
The Berkshires seemed dreamlike on account of that frosting
G              D             A            Em   Em7 A 
With ten miles behind me and ten thousand more to  go


[Chorus]
          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                            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
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  A
Won't you let me go down in my dreams 
G            A          D    
And rockabye sweet baby James
