Sweet Baby James [D] - James Taylor

There [D]is a young cowboy, he [G]lives on the [F#m]range,
His [Bm]horse and his [G]cattle are his [D]only com[F#m]panions,
He w[Bm]orks in the [G]saddle and he [D]sleeps in the [F#m]canyons,
[G]Waiting for [D]summer, his [A]pastures to [Em7]change.[A7]
And [G]as the moon rises [A7sus4]he sits by his [D]fire,
[Bm]Thinking about [G]women and [D]glasses of [A]beer,
And [G]closing his eyes as the [A7sus4]doggies re[D]tire,
He [Bm]sings out a [G]song which is [D]soft but it's clear,
[E7sus4]As if maybe [E7]someone could [Asus2] hear.  [A]

Chorus:
|He says [D]goodnight you [G]moonlight [A7sus4]ladies,[D]
|[Bm]Rock-a-bye [G]sweet baby [D]James,
|[Bm]Deep greens and [G]blues are the [D]colors I choose,
|Won't you [E7sus4]let me go down in my [Asus2]dreams,
|And [G]rock-a-by [A7sus4]sweet baby [D]James.

Well the [D]first of De[G]cember was covered with [F#m]snow,
And [Bm]so was the [G]turnpike from [D]Stockbridge to [F#m]Boston,
The [Bm]Birkshires seemed [G]dream-like on a[D]ccount of that [F#m]frostin',
With [G]ten miles be[D]hind me and [A]ten thousand [Em7]more to go[A7].
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.
