Version 1 Version 2 Version 3[Verse 1] 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 companions Bm G D F#m He works in the saddle and he sleeps in the canyons 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 dogies retire Bm G D E He sings out a song which is soft but it's clear Bm7 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 D Deep greens and blues are the colors I choose Bm7 E A A Won't you let me go down in my dreams G A D And rock-a-bye sweet baby James [Verse 2] 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 Stockbridge 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 A song that they sing when they take to the sea G A D A song that they sing of their home in the sky Bm G D E Maybe you can believe it if it helps you to sleep A 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 D Deep greens and blues are the colors I choose Bm7 E A A Won't you let me go down in my dreams G A D And rock-a-bye sweet baby James
