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
