Capo on 2nd fret |
Intro: |
He was born in the summer |
Of his twenty seventh year |
Coming home to a place |
He'd never been before |
He left yesterday behind him |
You might say he was born again |
You might say he found a key |
For every door |
When he first came to the mountains |
his life was far away |
On the road and hanging by a song |
But the string's already broken |
And he doesn't really care |
It keeps changing fast |
And it don't last for long |
But the Colorado Rocky |
Mountain high |
I've seen it raining |
Fire in the sky |
The shadow from the starlight |
Is softer than a lullaby |
Rocky Mountain high, Colorado |
Rocky Mountain high, Colorado |
He climbed cathedral mountains |
He saw silver clouds below |
He saw everything as far as |
You can see |
And they say that he got crazy once |
And he tried to touch the sun |
And he lost a friend |
But kept the memory |
Now he walks in quiet solitude |
The forests and the streams |
Seeking grace in |
Every step he takes |
His sight has turned inside |
Himself to try and understand |
The serenity of a clear |
Blue mountain lake |
And the Colorado Rocky |
Mountain high |
I've seen it raining fire |
In the sky |
Talk to God and listen |
To the casual reply |
Rocky Mountain high, Colorado |
Rocky Mountain high, Colorado |
Now his life is full of wonder |
But his heart |
Still knows some fear |
Of a simple thing |
He cannot comprehend |
Why they try to tear |
The mountains down |
To bring in a couple more |
More people, more scars |
Upon the land |
And the Colorado Rocky |
Mountain high |
I've seen it raining fire |
In the sky |
I know he'd be a poorer man |
if he never saw an eagle fly |
Rocky Mountain high |
And the Colorado Rocky |
Mountain high |
I've seen it raining fire |
in the sky |
Friends around the campfire |
And everybody's high |
Rocky Mountain high, Colorado |
Rocky Mountain high, Colorado |
