There Dis a young cowAboy he Glives on the F#mrange.
His Bmhorse and his Gcattle are his Donly comF#mpanion.
He wBmorks in the Gsaddle and he Dsleeps in the F#mcanyon.
GWaiting for Dsummer, his Apastures to Emchange. A
And Gas the moon rises he Asits by his Dfire.
BmThinkin' about Gwomen and Dglasses of Abeer.
GClosing his eyes as the Adoggies reDtire
He Bmsings out a Gsong which is Dsoft but it's clear
As Bmif maybe Esomeone could Ahear.
DGoodnight Gyou moonliAghtD ladies.
BmRock-a-bye Gsweet baby DJames.
BmDeep greens and Gblues are the Dcolors I choose.
Won't you Bmlet me go Edown in my A+dreams.A
And Grock-a-bye Asweet baby DJames.
Now the Dfirst of DeAcember was Gcovered with F#msnow.
And Bmso was the Gturnpike from DStockridge to F#mBoston.
Lord the BmBerkshires seemed Gdreamlike on aDccount of that F#mfrosting.
With Gten mileDs behind me Aand ten thousEmand more to Ago.
There's a Gsong that they sing when they Atake to the Dhighway.
A Bmsong that they Gsing when they Dtake to the Asea.
A Gsong that they sing of they're Ahome in the Dsky.
Maybe Bmyou can beGlieve it if it Dhelps you to sleep.
But Bmsinging works Ejust fine for A+me. A
