D D A A G G F#m F#m
There is a young cowboy he lives on the range.
Bm Bm G G D D F#m F#m
His horse and his cattle are his only companion.
Bm Bm G G D D F#m F#m
He works in the saddle and he sleeps in the canyon.
G G D D A A Em Em A A
Waiting for summer, his pastures to change.
G G A A D D
And as the moon rises he sits by his fire.
Bm Bm G G D D A A
Thinkin' about women and glasses of beer.
G G A A D D
Closing his eyes as the doggies retire
Bm Bm G G D D
He sings out a song which is soft but it's clear
Bm Bm E E A A
As if maybe someone could hear.

D D G G A A D D
CHORUS:Goodnight you moonlight ladies.
Bm Bm G G D D
Rock-a-bye sweet baby James.
Bm Bm G G D D
Deep greens and blues are the colors I choose.
Bm Bm E E A+ A+ A A
Won't you let me go down in my dreams.
G G A A D D
And rock-a-bye sweet baby James.

D D A A G G F#m F#m
Now the first of December was covered with snow.
Bm Bm G G D D F#m F#m
And so was the turnpike from Stockridge to Boston.
Bm Bm G G D D F#m F#m
Lord the Berkshires seemed dreamlike on account of that frosting.
G G D D A A Em Em A A
With ten miles behind me and ten thousand more to go.
G G A A D D
There's a song that they sing when they take to the highway.
Bm Bm G G D D A A
A A song that they sing when they take to the sea.
G G A A D D
A A song that they sing of they're home in the sky.
Bm Bm G G D D
Maybe you can believe it if it helps you to sleep.
Bm Bm E E A+ A+ A A
But singing works just fine for me.

CHORUS
