		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.

		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.
