     |G          D         C            Bm    / |
There is a young cowboy he lives on the range,
   |Em            C              G        Bm      / |
His horse and his cattle are his only com-panions,
   |Em          C             G             Bm       |
He works in the saddle and he sleeps in the canyons,
C           G           D           Am     / |D   /   
Waiting for Summer, his pastures to change.
   |C           /        D           G     
And as the moon rises he sits by his fire,
Em             C         G          D    
Thinking about women and glasses of beer,
   |C           /           D         G    
And closing his eyes as the dogies re-tire,
  |Em          C             G             /     
He sings out a song which is soft but it's clear,
  |Asus4    A             Dsus4 D Dsus2 D |
As if maybe someone could hear.

chorus:

G             C         D    G    |
Goodnight you moonlight la - dies,
Em       C          G     / |
Rockabye sweet baby James,
Em              C         G            /      
Deep greens and blues are the colors I choose,
         |Asus4     A          Dsus4  D 
Won't you let me go down in my dreams,
   |Am       D          G     
And rockabye sweet baby James.

2.

Now the first of December was covered with snow,
And so was the turnpike from Stockbridge to Boston,
Lord, the Berkshires seemed dream-like on account of that frosting, 
With ten miles behind me and ten thousand more to go.
There's a song that they sing when they take to the highway, 
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.
