James Taylor – Sweet Baby James (Ukulele)

      D             A      G            F#m
There is a young cowboy he lives on the range.

    Bm            G              D       F#m
His horse and his cattle are his only companion.

    Bm          G             D             F#m
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
He sings out a song which is soft but it's clear

   Bm       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
        Deep greens and blues are the colors I choose.

                  Bm        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            F#m
Now the first of December was covered with snow.

    Bm         G             D             F#m
And so was the turnpike from Stockridge to Boston.

          Bm                G             D              F#m
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
Maybe you can believe it if it helps you to sleep.

    Bm            E             A+    A
But singing works just fine for me.
