Tom: G G C G There is a young cowboy, he lives on the range. C G His horse and his cattle are his only companions. C G He works in the saddle and he sleeps in the canyon. C A7 D Waiting for summer, his pastures to change. C G And as the moon rises he sits by his fire, C G D thinkin' about women and glasses of beer. C G And closing his eyes as the doggies retire, C G D he sings out a song which is soft but it's clear, C A7 D as if maybe someone would hear...... CHORUS G C D G C G Good night you moonlight ladies, rock-a-bye sweet baby James. C G Deep greens and blues are the colors I choose, A7 D won't you let me go down in my dreams. C D G And rock-a-bye sweet baby James. G C G Now the first of December was covered with snow. C G And so was the turnpike from Stockbridge to Boston. C G Don't the Berkshires look dream-like on account of that frostin'? C A7 D With ten miles behind me and ten thousand more to go. C G There's a song that they sing when they take to the highway, C G D a song that they sing when they take to the sea, C G a song that they sing of their home in the sky, C G D maybe you can believe it if it helps you to sleep. C A7 D But singin' works just fine for me ..... (Chorus)
