SWEET BABY JAMES  (James Taylor)
 
 
      D              A       G           F#m 
There is a young cowboy who lives on the range 
    Bm            G               D      F#m
His horse and his cattle were is 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 the fire
Bm              G          D          A 
Thinking about women and glasses of beer
     G                       A        D
And closing his eyes as the dogies retire
    Bm          G             D  
He sings out a song wich is soft and it's clear
   Em                      A
As if maybe someone could ear


     D             G        A  D   Bm        G         D    
So goodnight you moonlight ladies Rockabye sweet baby James
 Bm              G            D    
Deep green and blues are the colors I choose 
          Em                     A
Won't you let me go down in my dreams
     G          A        D
And rockabye sweet baby James


          D         A          G           F#m 
Now the first of december was covered with snow
Bm          G              D            F#m
So was the turnpike from Stockbridge to Boston
           Bm                G              D           F#m 
Though the burkshears seem 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 there home in the sky
      Bm          G             D             
Maybe you can believe it if it helps you to sleep
      Em                          A
Well singing works just fine with me


     D             G        A  D   Bm        G         D    
So goodnight you moonlight ladies Rockabye sweet baby James
 Bm              G            D    
Deep green and blues are the colors I choose 
          Em                     A
Won't you let me go down in my dreams
     G          A        D
And rockabye sweet baby James
