Sweet Baby James Uke tab by James Taylor

G F# E A+ A 

      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 companion.
    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
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 could hear.

D             G         A  D
CHORUS:Goodnight you moonlight ladies.
Bm         G          D
Rock-a-bye sweet baby James.
Bm              G             D
Deep greens and blues are the colors I choose.
          Bm        E          A+     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 Stockridge to Boston.
         Bm                G             D              F#m
Lord the Berkshires seemed dreamlike on account of that frosting.
     G D           A            Em          A
With ten miles behind me and ten thousand more to go.
          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 they're home in the sky.
      Bm        G              D
Maybe you can believe it if it helps you to sleep.
    Bm            E             A+    A
But singing works just fine for me. 

                 CHORUS
