Sweet Baby James Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
[G]The[Em]re is[Asus4] a young cowbo[D]y,[A]
he [G]lives on [F#m]the range
His [Bm]horse and his [G]cattle are his
[D]only [F#m]companions
[Bm]He works in the [G]saddle and [D]sleeps
in [F#m]the canyons
[G]Waiting for sum[D]mer,
his [A]pastures to [Em]change[A]
And [G]as the moon rises he
[Asus4]sit s by his f[A]ire[D]
[Bm]Thinking about [G]women and
[D]glasses [A]of beer
[G]And closing his eyes as
the dog[Asus4]gies retire
[D]He [Bm]sings out a s[G]ong which
is [D]soft but it's clear
As [Bm]if maybe so[E]meone could

[Interlude 1]
hear
[A][Asus4][A]

[Verse 2]
[D]Goodnight you [G]moonlight
[A]ladies[D][Bm]
[G]Rockabyesweet baby [D]James
[Bm]Deep greens and [G]blues are
the col[D]ors I choose
Won't you [Bm]let me go [E]down
in my [A]dream[Asus4]s[A]
[G]And rockabye[A]sweet baby James
[D]

[Verse 3]
Now the first of Decem[A]ber was
[G]covered with [F#m]snow
[Bm]So was the t[G]urnpike from
[D]Stockbridge to Bo[F#m]ston
The [Bm]Berkshires seemed [G]dream- like
on ac[D]count of that frost[F#m]ing
With [G]ten miles [D]behind me and [A]ten
thousand [Em]more to go
[A]

[Verse 4]
There's [G]a song that they sing when
they [Asus4]take to the high[D]way
[Bm]A song that they [G]sing when
they [D]take to the sea
[A]A s[G]ong that they sing of their
[Asus4]home in the [D]sky
Maybe [Bm]you can be[G]lieve it
if it [D]helps you to sleep
But [Bm]singing works [E]just fine for me
[A][Asus4][A]

[Verse 5]
So [D]goodnight you [G]moonlight
[Asus4]ladies[D][Bm]
[G]Rockabyesweet baby [D]James
[Bm]Deep greens and [G]blues are
the [D]colors I choose
Won't you [Bm]let me go [E]down
in my [A]dreams[Asus4][A]
[G]And [A]rockabyesweet baby James
[D]
