[F] [C] [G]
There is a [C] young cow[G7]boy he [F] lives on the [Em] range
His [Am7] horse and his [F] cattle are [C] his only com[Em]panions
He [Am7] works in the [F] saddle and he [C] sleeps in the [Em] canyons
[F] Waiting for [Am7] Summer, [C] his [G7] pastures to [Dm] change [F] [G7]
And [F] as the moon rises he [G7] sits by his [C] fire
Thinkin’ [Am7] about [F] women and [C] glasses of [G] beer
And [F] closing his eyes as the [G7] dog-gies re[C]tire
He sings [Am7] out a [F] song which is [C] soft but it’s [Em] clear
As [Dm] if may-[Dm7]be some-one could [G7] hear
{c: }
[C] Good-night you [F] moon-light [G] la[C]dies,
[Am7] Rock-a-bye [F] sweet baby [C] James
[Am7] Deep greens and [F] blues are the [C] colours I choose
[Dm7] Won’t you let me [Am7] go down in [G7] my dreams
And [F] rock-a-bye [G] sweet baby James [C]
{c: }
Now the first of De[G7]cember was covered [F] with [Em] snow
And [Am7] so was the [F] turnpike from [C] Stockbridge to [Em] Boston
Though the Berk[Am7]shires seemed [F] dreamlike on a[C]ccount of that [Em] frosting
With [F] ten miles [Am7] behind me [C] and [G7] ten thousand [Dm] more to go [F] [G7]
There’s a [F] song that they sing when they [G] take to the [C] highway
A [Am7] song that they [F] sing when they [C] take to the [G] sea
A [F] song that they sing of their [G] home in the [C] sky
Maybe [Am7] you can be[F]lieve it [C] if it helps you to sleep
But [Dm] singing [Dm7] works just fine for [G] me
{c: }
[C] Good-night you [F] moon-light [G] la[C]dies,
[Am7] Rock-a-bye [F] sweet baby [C] James
[Am7] Deep greens and [F] blues are the [C] colours I choose
[Dm7] Won’t you let me [Am7] go down in [G7] my dreams
And [F] rock-a-bye [G] sweet baby James [C]
