He was born in the summer of his 27th year
D# Fm G# A#
Cominʼ home to a place heʼd never been before
D# Fm C# A#
He left yesterday behind him, you might say he was born again
D# Fm G# A#
You might say he found a key for every door
D# Fm C# A#
When he first came to the mountains his life was far away
D# Fm G# A#
On the road and hanginʼ by a song
D# Fm C# A#
But the stringʼs already broken and he doesnʼt really care
D# Fm G# A#
It keeps changinʼ fast and it donʼt last for long
G# A# D#
But the Colorado rocky mountain high
G# A# D#
Iʼve seen it raininʼ fire in the sky
G# A# D# Fm Gm G#
The shadow from the starlight is softer than a lul...la...by
D# Fm G# A#
Rocky mountain high (Colorado)

He climbed cathedral mountains, he saw silver clouds below
D# Fm G# A#
He saw everything as far as you can see
D# Fm C# A#
And they say that he got crazy once and he tried to touch the sun
D# Fm G# A#
And he lost a friend but kept the memory
D# Fm C# A#
Now he walks in quiet solitude the forest and the streams
D# Fm G# A#
Seeking grace in every step he takes
D# Fm C# A#
His sight has turned inside himself to try and understand
D# Fm G# A#
The serenity of a clear blue mountain lake
G# A# D#
And the Colorado rocky mountain high
G# A# D#
Iʼve seen it raininʼ fire in the sky
G# A# D# Fm Gm G#
Talk to God and listen to the casual re...ply
D# Fm G# A#
Rocky mountain high (Colorado)

D# Fm C# A#
Now his life is full of wonder but his heart still knows some fear
D# Fm G# A#
Of a simple thing he cannot comprehend
D# Fm C# A#
Why they try to tear the mountains down to bring in a couple more
D# Fm G# A#
More people, more scars upon the land
G# A# D#
But the Colorado rocky mountain high
G# A# D#
Iʼve seen it raininʼ fire in the sky
G# A# D# Fm Gm G#
I know heʼd be a poorer man if he never saw an ea...gle fly
D# Fm
Rocky mountain high
G# A# D#
Itʼs a Colorado rocky mountain high
G# A# D#
Iʼve seen it rain fire in the sky
G# A# D# A# G#
Friends around the camp-fire and everybodyʼs high
D# Fm G# A#
Rocky mountain high (Colorado)
