🎸 Chorus:
   B minorBm  A augmentedA   G+G   D MajorD
Colorado, I need healing
     B minorBm   A augmentedA  G+G  A augmentedA
From this sorrow I've been feeling


🎸 Verse 1:
G+G    A augmentedA  B minorBm     G+G    D MajorD
Give me old souls with healing hands
  G+G  A augmentedA   B minorBm     E minorEm     A augmentedA
The misunderstood, surely they will understand
      G+G    D MajorD        G+G   D MajorD
It takes a goddess touch to touch a godless man
E minorEm G+G        A augmentedA
And get him back to believing

G+G    A augmentedA  B minorBm     G+G    D MajorD
Give me a small-town mayor who should be dead
  G+G  A augmentedA   B minorBm     E minorEm     A augmentedA
But, he trades in old guitars and art instead
      G+G    D MajorD        G+G   D MajorD
Well, he brought the fish and I brought the bread
E minorEm G+G        A augmentedA
And he says, miracles still happen


🎸 Chorus:
   B minorBm  A augmentedA   G+G   D MajorD

     B minorBm   A augmentedA  G+G  A augmentedA
From this sorrow I've been feeling

🎸 Verse 2:
G+G    A augmentedA  B minorBm     G+G    D MajorD
Coyote walks through the light of day
  G+G  A augmentedA   B minorBm     E minorEm     A augmentedA
He hides behind a rock like he had plans to stay
      G+G    D MajorD        G+G   D MajorD
And I never did know just what he meant to say
E minorEm G+G        A augmentedA
But I can tell you, I was listening


G+G    A augmentedA  B minorBm     G+G    D MajorD
And there was Pedro with his cigarette sleeves
  G+G  A augmentedA   B minorBm     E minorEm     A augmentedA
Full of Friday pay and rattlesnake dreams
      G+G    D MajorD        G+G   D MajorD
He shared his Marlboros and I shared my cheese
E minorEm G+G        A augmentedA
His steady eyes were glistening

G+G    A augmentedA  B minorBm     G+G    D MajorD
And I heard an uplifting sound in a downtown park
  G+G  A augmentedA   B minorBm     E minorEm     A augmentedA
Playing his own tunes on an Irish harp
      G+G    D MajorD        G+G   D MajorD
And he played with just one hand as the August sky grew dark
E minorEm G+G        A augmentedA
The other hand was for a lover


🎸 Chorus:
   B minorBm  A augmentedA   G+G   D MajorD
Colorado, I need healing
     B minorBm   A augmentedA     G+G A augmentedA D MajorD
From this sorrow I've been feeling

I need your ancient winds to dry these tears

I need your silver lakes to be my mirrors

🎸 Instrumental:
D MajorD A augmentedA B minorBm A augmentedA G+G
D MajorD A augmentedA G+G

🎸 Bridge 2:
D MajorD
I closed my eyes and met this song
D MajorD
And the whole damn state of Colorado sang along
D MajorD
And I knew right then that somewhere I belonged
  E minorEm           A augmentedA
But hey, I know I was only dreaming


🎸 Verse 3:
       G+G  A augmentedA  B minorBm    G+G    D MajorD
So I'm gonna take what little's left of me
  G+G  A augmentedA   B minorBm     E minorEm     A augmentedA
Strap me in a plane eastbound for Tennossee
      G+G    D MajorD        G+G   D MajorD
Cause a man can only take so much being free
E minorEm G+G        A augmentedA
And then he starts to charging


🎸 Chorus:
   B minorBm  A augmentedA   G+G   D MajorD
Colorado, I need healing
     B minorBm   D MajorD     G+G  D MajorD
From this sorrow I've been feeling


🎸 Bridge 3:
    G+G     D MajorD    G+G     D MajorD
I need Chautauqua winds to dry these tears
      G+G   D MajorD    E minorEm  A augmentedA
I need your silver lakes to be my mirrors
    B minorBm   A augmentedA    G+G     D MajorD
So that I might see the fool I've been
     B minorBm  A augmentedA   G+G   A augmentedA
And maybe I can then begin again
G+G     E minorEm  D MajorD
Colorado, Colorado
