Sweet Baby James

              D                 A                G                F#m 
    There is a young cowboy, he lives on the range. 
         Bm                   G                  D             F#m 
    His horse and his cattle are his only companions. 
      Bm                  G                     D                 F#m 
    He works in the saddle and he sleeps in the canyon. 
    G                   D                A              Em    A 
    Waiting for summer, his pastures to change. 
            G                              A               D 
    And as the moon rises he sits by his fire, 
    Bm                   G                D             A 
    thinkin' about women and glasses of beer. 
           G                                   D           A 
    And closing his eyes as the doggies retire, 
       Bm               G                   D          
    he sings out a song which is soft but it's clear, 
        Bm             E                     A 
    as if maybe someone would hear...... 

    
    D                           G           A   D    Bm             G               D 
    Good night you moonlight ladies, rock-a-bye sweet baby James. 
     Bm                      G                  D 
    Deep greens and blues are the colors I choose, 
                     Bm            E                  A 
    won't you let me go down in my dreams. 
           G                  A                 D 
    And rock-a-bye sweet baby James. 

                  D               A                   G                 F#m 
    Now the first of December was covered with snow. 
            Bm                   G                  D             F#m 
    And so was the turnpike from Stockbridge to Boston. 
                   Bm                  G                     D                 F#m 
    Don't the Berkshires look dream-like on account of that frostin'? 
               G                   D                A              Em    A 
    With ten miles behind me and ten thousand more to go. 
                    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                                            A                D 
    a song that they sing of their home in the sky, 
                 Bm        G                     D 
    maybe you can believe it if it helps you to sleep. 
           Bm                E                 A 
    But singin' works just fine for me ..... 

    (Chorus)
