He was born in the summer, of his twenty seventh year;
D MajorD E minorEm C majorC A augmentedA
Coming home to a place he'd never been before
D MajorD
He left yesterday behind him,
E minorEm C majorC A augmentedA
you might say he was born again
D MajorD E minorEm C majorC A augmentedA
You might say he found a key for every door
D MajorD E minorEm C majorC A augmentedA
When he first came to the mountains, his life was far away;
D MajorD E minorEm C majorC A augmentedA
On the road and hanging by a song
D MajorD E minorEm C majorC A augmentedA
But the string's already broken, and he doesn't really care;
D MajorD E minorEm C majorC A augmentedA
It keeps changing fast, and it don't last for long
G+G A augmentedA D MajorD
But the Colorado Rocky Mountain high
G+G A augmentedA D MajorD
I've seen it raining fire in the sky
G+G A augmentedA D MajorD A augmentedA G+G
The shadow from the starlight is softer than a lullaby
A augmentedA D MajorD E minorEm G+G
Rocky Mountain high, Colorado
A augmentedA D MajorD E minorEm G+G A7A7
Rocky Mountain high, Colorado
D MajorD E minorEm C majorC A augmentedA
He climbed cathedral mountains, he saw silver clouds below;
D MajorD E minorEm C majorC A augmentedA
he saw everything as far as you can see
D MajorD
And they say that he got crazy once,
E minorEm C majorC A augmentedA
and he tried to touch the sun;
D MajorD E minorEm C majorC A augmentedA
And he lost a friend but kept the memory
D MajorD E minorEm C majorC A augmentedA
Now he walks in quiet solitude, the forests and the streams;
D MajorD E minorEm C majorC A augmentedA
seeking grace in every step he takes
D MajorD E minorEm C majorC A augmentedA
His sight has turned inside himself to try and understand;
D MajorD E minorEm C majorC A augmentedA
the serenity of a clear blue mountain lake
G+G A augmentedA D MajorD
And the Colorado Rocky Mountain high
G+G A augmentedA D MajorD
I've seen it raining fire in the sky
G+G A augmentedA D MajorD A augmentedA G+G
talk to God and listen to the casual reply
A augmentedA D MajorD E minorEm G+G
Rocky Mountain high, Colorado
A augmentedA D MajorD E minorEm G+G A7A7
Rocky Mountain high, Colorado
D MajorD
Now his life is full of wonder,
E minorEm C majorC A augmentedA
but his heart still knows some fear;
D MajorD E minorEm C majorC A augmentedA
of a simple thing he cannot comprehend
D MajorD
Why they try to tear the mountains down,
E minorEm C majorC A augmentedA
To bring in a couple more;
D MajorD E minorEm C majorC A augmentedA
more people, more scars upon the land
G+G A augmentedA D MajorD
And the Colorado Rocky Mountain high
G+G A augmentedA D MajorD
I've seen it raining fire in the sky
G+G A augmentedA D MajorD A augmentedA G+G
I know he'd be a poorer man if he never saw an eagle fly
A augmentedA D MajorD E minorEm G+G
Rocky Mountain high, Colorado
A augmentedA D MajorD E minorEm G+G A7A7
Rocky Mountain high, Colorado
G+G A augmentedA D MajorD
And the Colorado Rocky Mountain high
G+G A augmentedA D MajorD
I've seen it raining fire in the sky
G+G A augmentedA D MajorD A augmentedA G+G
Friends around the campfire and everybody's high
A augmentedA D MajorD E minorEm G+G
Rocky Mountain high, Colorado
A augmentedA D MajorD E minorEm G+G A7A7
Rocky Mountain high, Colorado
