	D	A	G	F#m
There	is a young cowb	oy, he l	ives on the r	ange,

	Bm	G	D	F#m
His h	orse and his c	attle are his o	nly comp	anions,

	Bm	G	D	F#m
He w	orks in the s	addle and he sl	eeps in the c	anyons,

	G	D	A	Em7	A7
W	aiting for su	mmer, his p	astures to c	hange.

	G	A7	D
And	as the moon rises he	sits by his f	ire,

	Bm	G	D	A
Th	inking about wo	men and gl	asses of b	eer,

	G	A7	D
And cl	osing his eyes as the	doggies ret	ire,

	Bm	G	D
He s	ings out a s	ong which is s	oft but it's clear,

	E7sus	E7	Asus	A7
As	if maybe s	omeone could	hear.

Chorus:

	D	G	A7	D
He says g	oodnight you m	oonlight	ladies,

	Bm	G	D
R	ock-a-bye sw	eet baby Ja	mes,

	Bm	G	D
D	eep greens and bl	ues are the co	lors I choose,

	E7	Asus	A7
Won't you	let me go down in my d	reams	,

	G	A	D
And r	ock-a-by	sweet baby J	ames.

	D	A	G	F#m
Well	the first of Decem	ber was	covered with s	now,

	Bm	G	D	F#m
And so	was the	turnpike from Stock	bridge to Bos	ton,

	Bm	G	D	F#m
The Bir	kshires seemed	dream-like on	account of that fro	stin',

	G	D	A	Em7	A7
With ten	miles behind	me and ten	thousand	more to go	.

	G	A7	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	A7	D
A	song that they sing of their	home in the	sky,

	Bm	G	D
Maybe	you can be	lieve it, if it	helps you to sleep,

	E7sus	E7	Asus	A7
But	singing works	just fine for	me.

Chorus.

	D	G	A7	D
He says g	oodnight you m	oonlight	ladies,

	Bm	G	D
R	ock-a-bye sw	eet baby Ja	mes,

	Bm	G	D
D	eep greens and bl	ues are the co	lors I choose,

	E7	Asus	A7
Won't you	let me go down in my d	reams	,

	G	A7	D
And r	ock-a-by	sweet baby J	ames.
