         Intro: 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. 
 
          Chorus: 
           D             G         A  D 
          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 
          А song that they sing when they take to the sea. 
             G                              A           D 
          А 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: 
           D             G         A  D 
          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.
