1. 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
       A7sus4   A7          Dsus4 D
   As if maybe someone could hear    

     G          C          D    G
R: Goodnight you moonlight ladies     
   Em            C         G
   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 rock-a-bye sweet baby James          

2. Now the first of December was covered with snow               
   And so was the turnpike from Stockbridge to Boston           
   The Berkshires seemed dreamlike on account of that frosting
   With ten miles behind me and ten thousand more to go    
   
   There's a song that they sing when they take to the highway     
   A song that they sing when they take to the sea             
   A song that they sing of their home in the sky            
   Maybe you can believe it if it helps you to sleep
   But singing works just fine for me  

R: Goodnight you moonlight ladies...
