[Verse 1]
G Em A D A
There is a young cowboy,
G F#m
he lives on the range.
Bm G D 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
Waiting for summer,
A Em
his pastures to change
A G A D
And as the moon rises he sits by his fire,
Bm G D A
Thinking about women and glasses of beer
G A D
And closing his eyes as the dogies 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...
[Chorus]
D G A D
Goodnight you moon light ladies,
Bm G D
Rockabye sweet baby James
Bm G D
Deep greens and blues are the colors I choose,
Bm E A
Won't you let me go down in my dreams?
G A D
And rockabye sweet baby James
[Verse 2]
D A G F#m
Now the first of December was covered with snow
Bm G D F#m
So was the turnpike from Stockbridge to Boston
Bm G D
Though the Berkshires seemed dreamlike on account of that
F#m
frosting
G D A Em
With ten miles behind me and ten thousand more to go
A G A
There's a song that they sing when they take to the
D
highway
Bm G D A
Song that they sing when they take to the sea
G A D
Song that they sing of their home in the sky,
Bm G D
Maybe you can believe it if it helps you to sleep
Bm E A
But singing works just fine for me
[Chorus]
D G A D
So, goodnight you moon light ladies,
Bm G D
Rockabye sweet baby James
Bm G D
Deep greens and blues are the colors I choose,
Bm E A
Won't you let me go down in my dreams?
G A D
And rockabye sweet baby James
