	D	A	G	F#m	F#m
There	is a young cow	boy he	lives on the	range

	Bm	G	D	F#m	F#m
His	horse and his	cattle are his	only com	panions

	F#m	G	D	F#m
He	works in the	saddle and he	sleeps in the	canyon

	G	D	A	Em	A	A
	Waiting for	summer, his	pastures to	change

	G	G	A	D
And	as the moon	rises he	sits by his	fire

	Bm	G	D	A
	Thinking about	women and	glasses of	beer

	G	G	A	D
	Closing his	eyes as the	doggies re	tire

	Bm	G	D	D
He	sings out a	song which is	soft but it's	clear

	Bm	E	A	A A A
As	if maybe	someone could	hear

	D	G	A	D
	Goodnight you	moonlight	la	dies

	Bm	G	D	D
	Rock-a-bye	sweet baby	James

	Bm	G	D	D
	Deep greens and	blues are the	colours I	choose

	Bm	E	A+	A
Won't you	let me go	down in my	dreams

	G	A	D	D
And	rock-a-bye	sweet baby	James

	D	A	G	F#m	F#m
Now the	first of De	cember was	covered with	snow

	Bm	G	D	F#m	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 A
With	ten miles be	hind me and	ten thousand	more to go

	G	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	G	A	D
A	song that they	sing of their	home in the	sky

	Bm	G	D	D
Maybe	you can be	lieve it if it	helps you to	sleep

	Bm	E	A+	A A A
But	singing works	just fine for	me
