SWEET BABY JAMES

INTRO:

F#m A7sus

F#m

There is a young cow-boy who lives on the range. His horse and his cattle are his only com-panions

F#m

Em7

He works in the saddle and he sleeps in the canyons, waiting for summer, his pastures to change

And as the moon rises he sits by his fire, thinking about women and bottles of beer

And closing his eyes as the doggies re-tire, he sings out a song which is soft but it’s clear

E7sus

A7sus

As if maybe someone could hear

CHORUS:

Goodnight, you moonlight la - dies,

rockabye Sweet Baby James

E7sus

A7sus

Deep greens and blues are the colors I choose, won’t you let me go down in my dreams

And rockabye Sweet Baby James.

F#m

Now the first of De-cember was covered with snow, and so was the Turnpike from Stockbridge to Boston.

F#m

Lord, the Berkshires seemed dream-like on ac-count of that frosting

Em7

With ten miles be-hind me and ten thousand more to go

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 be-lieve it if it helps you to sleep

E7sus

A7sus

But singing works just fine for me………….. CHORUS.
