[Intro] G  D  C  Bm    

[Primera Parte]

There is a young cowboy he lives on the range
    Em           C            G         Bm    
His horse and his cattle are his only companions
    Em          C            G            Bm
He works in the saddle and he sleeps in the canyons
 C          G          Am                 D    
Waiting for Summer, his pastures to change
    C                  D          G
And as the moon rises he sits by his fire
 Em            C         G        D
Thinking about women and glasses of beer
     C                     D     G
And closing his eyes as the dogies retire
   Em         C            G    
He sings out a song which is soft but it's clear
  A7(4)   A7           D7(4)        D    
As if maybe someone could hear

[Estribillo]

 G            C       D      G
Goodnight you moonlight ladies
 Em       C        G(X2)
Rockabye sweet baby James
 Em             C           G    
Deep greens and blues are the colors I choose
         Am                    D    
Won't you let me go down in my dreams
    C         D       G    
And rockabye sweet baby James
        G          D        C            Bm    
Now the first of December was covered with snow
    Em        C               G            Bm    
And so was the turnpike from Stockbridge to Boston
    Em               C           G              Bm
The Berkshires seemed dreamlike on account of that frosting
      C          G         Am                    D    
With ten miles behind me and ten thousand more to go
          C                           D          G
There's a song that they sing when they take to the highway
  Em             C            G            D
A song that they sing when they take to the sea
  C                          D           G
A song that they sing of their home in the sky
       Em      C              G    
Maybe you can believe it if it helps you to sleep
    A7(4)   A7              D7(4)         D    
But singing works just fine for me

And rockabye sweet baby James
