CAPO 1

There ^Cis a young c^Gowboy, ^Fhe lives on ^Emthe range, His ^Amhorse and his ^Fcattle are h^Cis on^Emly companions, He ^Amworks in the^F saddle a^Cnd he sleeps in ^Emthe canyons, W^Faiting ^Cfor summer,^G his pa^Dmstures to ch^Gange.

And ^Fas the moon rises he^G sits by^C his fire, ^AmThinking ab^Fout ^Cwomen a^Gnd glasses of beer, And ^Fclosing his eyes as the^G doggie^Cs retire, He ^Amsings out a^F song wh^Cich is soft bu^Gt it's clear, As i^Df maybe someone^G could hear.

Chorus:

He ^Csays good^Fnight you mo^Gonli^Cght ladies, ^AmRock-a-bye^F sweet ba^Cby James, ^AmDeep greens ^Fand blue^Cs are the colors I choose, Won't ^Dyou let me go dow^Gn in my dreams , And ^Frock-a-by^G sweet bab^Cy James.

Well the first of December was covered with snow, And so was the turnpike from Stockbridge to Boston, The Birkshires seemed dream-like on account of that frostin', With ten miles behind me and ten thousand more to go . There's a song that they sing when they take to the ighway, A song that they sing when they take to the sea, A song that they sing of their home in the sky, Maybe you can believe it, if it helps you to sleep, But singing works just fine for me. Chorus. He says goodnight you moonlight ladies, Rock-a-bye sweet baby James, Deep greens and blues are the colors I choose, Won't you let me go down in my dreams , And rock-a-by sweet baby James.
