Sweet Baby James (ver.2)

G F# E A+ A 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 companion. Bm G D F#m He works in the saddle and he sleeps in the canyon. 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 doggies retire Bm G D He sings out a song which is soft but it's clear Bm E A As if maybe someone could hear. D G A D Chorus: 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. Bm E A+ A Won't you let me go down in my dreams. G A D And rock-a-bye sweet baby James. 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 Stockridge 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 they're home in the sky. Bm G D Maybe you can believe it if it helps you to sleep. Bm E A+ A But singing works just fine for me. Chorus
