Sweet Baby James James Taylor
(intro)
[G] [Em] [A] [A]
(verse 1)
There [D]is a young cowb[A]oy he l[G]ives on the [F#m]range[F#m]
His [Bm]horse and his [G]cattle are his [D]only com[F#m]panions[F#m]
He [Bm]works in the [G]saddle and he [D]sleeps in the [F#m]canyons
[G]Waiting for [D]summer, his [A]pastures to [Em]change[Em] [A7] [A7]
And [G]as the moon [G]rises he [A]sits by his [D]fire
[Bm]Thinkin' about [G]women and [D]glasses of [A]beer
[G]Closing his [G]eyes as the [A]doggies re[D]tire
He [Bm]sings out a [G]song which is [D]soft but it's c[D]lear
As [Em]if maybe [A]someone could [Em]hear[Em] [A7] [A7]
(chorus)
[D]Goodnight you [G]moonlight [A]la-[D]dies
[Bm]Rock-a-bye s[G]weet baby [D]James[D]
[Bm]Deep greens and [G]blues are the [D]colors I [D]choose
Won't you [Em]let me go [Em]down in my [A7]dreams[A7]
And r[G]ock-a-bye s[A]weet baby J[D]ames[D]
(verse 2)
Now the [D]first of De[A]cember was [G]covered with [F#m]snow[F#m]
And [Bm]so was the [G]turnpike from [D]Stockridge to [F#m]Boston[F#m]
Lord, the [Bm]Berkshires seemed [G]dreamlike on a[D]ccount of that [F#m]frosting
With [G]ten miles be[D]hind me and [A]ten thousand [Em]more to[Em] go[A7] [A7]
There's a [G]song that they [G]sing when they [A]take to the [D]highway
A [Bm]song that they [G]sing when they [D]take to the [A]sea
A [G]song that they [G]sing of their [A]home in the [D]sky
Maybe [Bm]you can be[G]lieve it if it [D]helps you to [D]sleep
But [Em]singing works [A]just fine for [Em]me[Em] [A7] [A7]
(chorus)
[D]Goodnight you [G]moonlight [A]la-[D]dies
[Bm]Rock-a-bye s[G]weet baby [D]James[D]
[Bm]Deep greens and [G]blues are the [D]colors I [D]choose
Won't you [Em]let me go [Em]down in my [A7]dreams[A7]
And r[G]ock-a-bye s[A]weet baby J[D]ames[D]
