D A G/B F#m Bm G
There is a young cowboy; he lives on the range. His Horse and his cattle are his
D F#m Bm G D F#m
only companions. He works in the saddle and sleeps in the canyons,
G D A E7S4 A7s4 A 6/2 G A7s4 D
Waiting for summer, his pastures to change And as the moon rises, he sits by his fire
Bm G D A G A7s4 D
thinking about women and glasses of beer. He closes his eyes while the doggies retire.
Bm G D E7s4 E7 A7s4 A
He sings out a song which is soft but its clear, as if maybe someone could hear
D G/B A D Bm G D Dsus4 D
Goodnight all you moonlight ladies Rock-a-bye sweet baby James
Bm G D E7s4 E7 A7s4 A
Deep greens and blues are the colors I choose Wont you let me go down in my dreams
6/0 G A D Dsus4 D
and rock-a-bye sweet baby James.
D A G F#m Bm G D
Now the first of December was covered in snow so was the turnpike from Stockbridge
F#m Bm G F#m
to Boston though the Berkshires seemed dreamlike on account of that frosting
G D A E7S4 A G
with ten miles behind me and ten thousand more to go There's a song that they sing
A7s4 D Bm G D A
when they take to the highway a song that they sing when they take to the sea
G A7s4 D Bm G D
a song that they sing of their home in the sky Maybe you can believe if it helps you to sleep
E7s4 E7 A7s4 A
The singing works just fine for me. CHORUS

And if you're fast, and if you're lucky, You will never see that hangin tree
G/B Em7 C
Well the towns lay out across the dusty plain
C/B Am Em
Like graveyards filled with tombstones waitin for the names
G/B G7 C
And a man could use his back or use his brains
C/B Am D B7
But some just went stir-crazy Lord cause nothin ever changed

Till Bill Doolin met Bill Dalton He was workin cheap, just buyin time
