[intro]
G Em A A
[verse 1]
D A G F#m F#m
There is a young cowboy he lives on the range
Bm G D F#m 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 Em A7 A7
Waiting for summer, his pastures to change
G 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 G A D
Closing his eyes as the doggies retire
Bm G D D
He sings out a song which is soft but it's clear
Em A Em Em A7 A7
As if maybe someone could hear
[chorus]
D G A D
Goodnight you moonlight la-dies
Bm G D D
Rock-a-bye sweet baby James
Bm G D D
Deep greens and blues are the colors I choose
Em Em A7 A7
Won't you let me go down in my dreams
G A D D
And rock-a-bye sweet baby James
[verse 2]
D A G F#m F#m
Now the first of December was covered with snow
Bm G D F#m F#m
And so was the turnpike from Stockridge to Boston
Bm G D F#m
Lord, the Berkshires seemed dreamlike on account of that frosting
G D A Em Em A7 A7
With ten miles behind me and ten thousand more to go
G 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 G A D
A song that they sing of their home in the sky
Bm G D D
Maybe you can believe it if it helps you to sleep
Em A Em Em A7 A7
But singing works just fine for me
[chorus]
D G A D
Goodnight you moonlight la-dies
Bm G D D
Rock-a-bye sweet baby James
Bm G D D
Deep greens and blues are the colors I choose
Em Em A7 A7
Won't you let me go down in my dreams
G A D D
And rock-a-bye sweet baby James
