Sweet Baby James (ver 2) by James Taylor

                      D             A      G            D
		There is a young cowboy he lives on the range.
		    Bm            G              D     A  
		His horse and his cattle are his only companion.
		    Bm          G             D             A
		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                       A         D
		Closing his eyes as the doggies retire
		   Bm          G             D             E
		He sings out a song which is soft but it's clear
		   A        E             A
		As if maybe someone could hear.

			D             G         A  D
		CHORUS:	Goodnight you moonlight ladies.
			Bm         G          D
			Rock-a-bye sweet baby James.
			Bm              G             D        D
			Deep greens and blues are the colors I choose.
			          A        E          A      A
			Won't you let me go down in my dreams.
			    G          A          D
			And rock-a-bye sweet baby James.

        D          A          G            A
Now the first of December was covered with snow.
    Bm         G             D             E
And so was the turnpike from Stockridge to Boston.
         Bm                G             D              A
Lord the Berkshires seemed dreamlike on account of that frosting.
     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 they're home in the sky.
      Bm        G              D            E
Maybe you can believe it if it helps you to sleep.
    A                  E        A    A
But singing works just fine for me.

		        D             G         A  D
		CHORUS:	Goodnight you moonlight ladies.
			Bm         G          D
			Rock-a-bye sweet baby James.
			Bm              G             D        D
			Deep greens and blues are the colors I choose.
			          A         E          A      A
			Won't you let me go down in my dreams.
			    G          A          D
			And rock-a-bye sweet baby James.
