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

Lay down your lawbooks now, they're no damn good
Em G Em G
Better keep on movin, Doolin-Dalton Till your shadow sets you free
G7 C Em A C G
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
Em G Em G
Till Bill Doolin met Bill Dalton He was workin cheap, just buyin time
G7 C Em A C G B7
And then he laughed and said I'm goin And so he left that peaceful life behind

DON’T STOP BELIEVIN - JOURNEY CAPO 1
(a very easy going acoustic version)
G D Em C G D C
Just a small town girl, living in a lonely world She took the midnight train going anywhere
G D Em C G D C
Just a city boy, born and raised in south Detroit He took the midnight train going anywhere
G D Em C
A singer in a smoky room, a smell of wine and cheap perfume
G D Em C
For a smile they can share the night, it goes on and on and on and on
C G Em C Em G D C
Strangers waiting up and down the boulevard Their shadows searching in the night
G Em C Em G D C
Streetlight, people, living just to find emotion Hiding, somewhere in the night
G D Em C
Working hard to get my fill, everybody wants a thrill
G D C
Paying anything to roll the dice, just one more time
G D Em C
Some will win, some will lose, some were born to sing the blues
G D Em C
Oh, the movie never ends; it just goes on and on and on and on CHORUS 2X
