| Capo on 2nd fret |
| Intro: |
| D Em G x2 |
| A7 |
| D |
| He was born in the summer |
| Em C A |
| Of his twenty seventh year |
| D |
| Coming home to a place |
| Em G |
| He'd never been before |
| D |
| He left yesterday behind him |
| Em C A |
| You might say he was born again |
| D |
| You might say he found a key |
| Em G |
| For every door |
| D |
| When he first came to the mountains |
| Em C A |
| his life was far away |
| D Em G |
| On the road and hanging by a song |
| D |
| But the string's already broken |
| Em C A |
| And he doesn't really care |
| D |
| It keeps changing fast |
| Em G A |
| And it don't last for long |
| G A |
| But the Colorado Rocky |
| D |
| Mountain high |
| G |
| I've seen it raining |
| A D |
| Fire in the sky |
| G A |
| The shadow from the starlight |
| D G A G |
| Is softer than a lullaby |
| A D Em G |
| Rocky Mountain high, Colorado |
| A D Em G A7 |
| Rocky Mountain high, Colorado |
| D |
| He climbed cathedral mountains |
| Em C A |
| He saw silver clouds below |
| D |
| He saw everything as far as |
| Em G |
| You can see |
| D |
| And they say that he got crazy once |
| Em C A |
| And he tried to touch the sun |
| D |
| And he lost a friend |
| Em C G |
| But kept the memory |
| D |
| Now he walks in quiet solitude |
| Em C A |
| The forests and the streams |
| D |
| Seeking grace in |
| Em G |
| Every step he takes |
| D |
| His sight has turned inside |
| Em C A |
| Himself to try and understand |
| D Em |
| The serenity of a clear |
| C G |
| Blue mountain lake |
| G A |
| And the Colorado Rocky |
| D |
| Mountain high |
| G A |
| I've seen it raining fire |
| D |
| In the sky |
| G A |
| Talk to God and listen |
| D G A G |
| To the casual reply |
| A D Em G |
| Rocky Mountain high, Colorado |
| A D Em G A7 |
| Rocky Mountain high, Colorado |
| D |
| Now his life is full of wonder |
| Em |
| But his heart |
| C A |
| Still knows some fear |
| D |
| Of a simple thing |
| Em C G |
| He cannot comprehend |
| D |
| Why they try to tear |
| The mountains down |
| Em C A |
| To bring in a couple more |
| D Em |
| More people, more scars |
| C G |
| Upon the land |
| G A |
| And the Colorado Rocky |
| D |
| Mountain high |
| G A |
| I've seen it raining fire |
| D |
| In the sky |
| G A |
| I know he'd be a poorer man |
| D G A G |
| if he never saw an eagle fly |
| A D |
| Rocky Mountain high |
| G A |
| And the Colorado Rocky |
| D |
| Mountain high |
| G A |
| I've seen it raining fire |
| D |
| in the sky |
| G A |
| Friends around the campfire |
| D A G |
| And everybody's high |
| A D Em G |
| Rocky Mountain high, Colorado |
| A D Em G |
| Rocky Mountain high, Colorado |
