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

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

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