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 Em7 A7
Waiting for summer, his pastures to change.

G A7 D
And as the moon rises he sits by his fire,
Bm G D A
Thinking about women and glasses of beer,
G A7 D
And closing his eyes as the doggies retire,
Bm G D
He sings out a song which is soft but it's clear,
E7 E7 A 
As if maybe someone could hear. 

Refrao D G A7 D
He says goodnight you moonlight ladies, 
Bm G D
Rock-a-bye sweet baby James,
Bm G D
Deep greens and blues are the colors I choose,
E7 A
Won't you let me go down in my dreams,
G A7 D
And rock-a-by sweet baby James.


Well the first of December was covered with snow,
And so was the turnpike from Stockbridge to Boston,
The Birkshires seemed dream-like on account of that
frostin',
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.

Refrao
