Sweet Baby James James Taylor
There [C#]is a young[G#] cowboy, he[F#] lives on th[Fm]e range,
His [Bbm]horse and his [F#]cattle [C#]are his only [Fm]companions,
He works[Bbm] in the [F#]s [C#]addle an[Fm]d he sl eeps in the c anyons,
Waiting [F#]for su [C#]mmer, hi[G#]s p [Ebm]astures [G#]to c hange.
And as t[F#]he moon [G#]rises he[C#] sits by his f ire,
Thinking[Bbm] about w[F#]omen and[C#] glasses[G#] of beer,
And clos[F#]ing his [G#]eyes as [C#]the doggies retire,
He sings[Bbm] out a s[F#]ong whic[C#]h is soft but i[G#]t's clear,
As if ma[Eb]ybe someone could [G#]hear.
Chorus:
He says [C#]goodnight you [F#]moonlight [G#]ladie[C#]s,
[Bbm]Rock-a-bye [F#]sweet baby [C#]James,
[Bbm]Deep greens and [F#]blues are the[C#] colors I choose,
Won't you l[Eb]et me go down in my[G#] dreams ,
And [F#]rock-a-by [G#]sweet baby [C#]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.
