Colorado Christmas chords by Nitty Gritty Dirt Band

Chords with lyrics

Looking out the window of this hollywood hotel,
G+G                   C majorC
Youd never know that it was christmas eve.
C majorC                       DmDm
The billboards and the neon took the place of silver bells,
G+G             C majorC
And the temperature is 84 degrees.
A minorAm              E minorEm
I can hear the traffic on the crowded strip below
A minorAm                      E minorEm
As the palm trees poke their heads above the scene
C majorC                     DmDm
Theres not a single reindeer and it hardly ever snows,
   G+G             C majorC
And santa drives a rolls royce limosine.

A minorAm                E minorEm
But all along the rockies you can feel it in the air
A minorAm               E minorEm
From telluride to boulder down below
C majorC                     DmDm
The closest thing to heaven on this planet anywhere
G+G                      C majorC
Is a quiet christmas morning in the colorado snow

C majorC                    DmDm
I remember christmases when I was just a boy
G+G                   C majorC
In the morning I would run to see the tree.
C majorC                      DmDm
And the carolers on the hillside sang their songs of christmas joy
G+G                      C majorC
Well, I always thought they sang them just for me.
A minorAm              E minorEm
Now the sun is setting in the california sky
A minorAm             E minorEm
And I cant find the spirit anywhere
C majorC                    DmDm
So I think its time for me to tell los angeles goodbye
G+G                   C majorC
Im going back home toook for christmas there

A minorAm                E minorEm
But all along the rockies you can feel it in the air
A minorAm               E minorEm
From telluride to boulder down below
C majorC                     DmDm
The closest thing to heaven on this planet anywhere
G+G                      C majorC
Is a quiet christmas morning in the colorado snow
