D Em C A
He was born in the summer of his 27th year
D Em G A
Cominʼ home to a place heʼd never been before
D Em C A
He left yesterday behind him, you might say he was born again
D Em G A
You might say he found a key for every door
D Em C A
When he first came to the mountains his life was far away
D Em G A
On the road and hanginʼ by a song
D Em C A
But the stringʼs already broken and he doesnʼt really care
D Em 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 Em F#m G
The shadow from the starlight is softer than a lul...la...by
D Em G A
Rocky mountain high (Colorado)
D Em G A
Rocky mountain high (Colorado)
D Em C A
He climbed cathedral mountains, he saw silver clouds below
D Em G A
He saw everything as far as you can see
D Em C A
And they say that he got crazy once and he tried to touch the sun
D Em G A
And he lost a friend but kept the memory
D Em C A
Now he walks in quiet solitude the forest and the streams
D Em G A
Seeking grace in every step he takes
D Em C A
His sight has turned inside himself to try and understand
D Em 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 Em F#m G
Talk to God and listen to the casual re...ply
D Em G A
Rocky mountain high (Colorado)
D Em G A
Rocky mountain high (Colorado)
D Em C A
Now his life is full of wonder but his heart still knows some fear
D Em G A
Of a simple thing he cannot comprehend
D Em C A
Why they try to tear the mountains down to bring in a couple more
D Em 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 Em F#m G
I know heʼd be a poorer man if he never saw an ea...gle fly
D Em
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 Em G A
Rocky mountain high (Colorado)
D Em G A
Rocky mountain high (Colorado)
