Sweet Baby James

[Intro] G  G/F#  Em  A7

[Primeira Parte]

      D              A
There is a young cowboy
    G            F#m
He lives on the range
     Bm            G             D        F#m
His horse and his cattle are his only companions
    Bm           G              D            F#m
He works in the saddle and he sleeps in the canyons
 G           D
Waiting for summer
     A            Em    A  A7
His pastures to change

[Segunda Parte]

    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 dogies retire
    Bm          G             D
He sings out a song which is soft, but it's clear
   Bm7       E             A    A4  A
As if maybe someone could hear

[Refrão]

 D              G         A      D
Goodnight, you moonlight ladies
 Bm         G         D
Rockabye, sweet baby James
 Bm               G
Deep greens and blues
         D
Are the colors I choose
           Bm7       E           A      A4  A
Won't you let me go down in my dreams?
     G          A         D    D9  D
And rockabye, sweet baby James

[Terceira Parte]

          D             A
Now, the first of December
     G             F#m
Was covered with snow
     Bm         G
And so was the turnpike
       D             F#m
From Stockbridge to Boston
           Bm
Lord, the Berkshires seemed
  G             D              F#m
Dreamlike on account of that frostin'
      G           D
With ten miles behind me
     A            Em              A  A7
And ten thousand more to go, whoa

[Quarta Parte]

           G
There's a song that they sing
           A           D
When they take to the highway
   Bm             G
A song that they sing
           D            A
When they take to the sea
   G
A song that they sing
          A            D
Of their home in the sky
       Bm         G
Maybe you can believe it
       D              Bm7
If it helps you to sleep
     E                           A  A4  A
But singing works just fine for me

[Refrão Final]

     D              G         A  D
So, goodnight, you moonlight ladies
 Bm         G         D
Rockabye, sweet baby James
 Bm               G
Deep greens and blues
         D
Are the colors I choose
           Bm7       E           A      A4  A
Won't you let me go down in my dreams?
     G          A         D     D9  D
And rockabye, sweet baby James
