G(no 3rd) Em7 A7sus4
1.)There is a [D]young cowboy; he live[A]s on the ra[G]nge.__[F#m]
[Bis]
[Bm]Horse and his cattle [G]are his only compa[D]nions.[F#m]
He works[Bm] in the saddle and[G] sleeps in the[D] canyons,[F#m]
[G] [D] [A]
[Em7]waiting for summer, his pa[A]stures to change.
And as t[G]he moon rises, he sits by his [A7s4]fire[D]
[Bm]thinking about wome[G]n and glasses of [D]beer.[A]
[G] [A7s4]
[D]And closing his eyes while the doggies retire.
He sin[Bm]gs out a song which[G] is soft but i[D]ts clear,
as[E7s4] if maybe someone [E7]could hear.[A7s4] [A]
Chorus:
[D]Goodnight all you moonligh[G]t ladies[A] [D]
[Bm]Rock-a-bye sweet[G] baby James[D]
[Bm]Deep greens and blues are the[G] colors I choose[D]
Wont you let me[E7s4] go down in my [E7]dreams[A7s4] [A]
and roc[G]k-a-bye sweet bab[A]y James.[D]
2.) N[D]ow the first of December was cove[A]red in snow[G] [F#m]
[Bm]so was the turnpik[G]e from Stockbrid[D]ge to Boston[F#m]
[Bm] [G]
[D]though the Berksh[F#m]ires seemed dreamlike on account of the frosting
[G] [D] [A]
[Em7]with ten miles behind me[A] and ten thousand more to go.___You know
There's a song [G]that they sing when they take to the highwa[A7s4]y[D]
a s[Bm]ong that they sing[G] when they take to the[D] sea[A]
a so[G]ng that they sing of their home in the[A7s4] sky[D]
Maybe you ca[Bm]n believe if it he[G]lps you[D] to sleep
The sin[E7s4]ging works just fine [E7]for me.[A7s4] [A]
