E E                          F#m F#m     D D       B B
He was born in the summer, of his twenty seventh year;
E E F#m F#m A A
Coming home to a place he'd never been before
E E
He left yesterday behind him,
F#m F#m D D B B
you might say he was born again
E E F#m F#m A A
You might say he found a key for every door

E E F#m F#m D D B B
When he first came to the mountains, his life was far away;
E E F#m F#m A A
On the road and hanging by a song
E E F#m F#m D D B B
But the string's already broken, and he doesn't really care;
E E F#m F#m B B
It keeps changing fast, and it don't last for long

A A B B E E
But the Colorado Rocky Mountain high
A A B B E E
I've seen it raining fire in the sky
A A B B E E B B A A
The shadow from the starlight is softer than a lullaby
B B E E F#m F#m A A
Rocky Mountain high, Colorado
B B E E F#m F#m A A B7 B7
Rocky Mountain high, Colorado

E E F#m F#m D D B B
He climbed cathedral mountains, he saw silver clouds below;
E E F#m F#m A A
he saw everything as far as you can see
E E
And they say that he got crazy once,
F#m F#m D D B B
and he tried to touch the sun;
E E F#m F#m D D B B
And he lost a friend but kept the memory

E E F#m F#m D D B B
Now he walks in quiet solitude, the forests and the streams;
E E F#m F#m A A
seeking grace in every step he takes
E E F#m F#m D D B B
His sight has turned inside himself to try and understand;
E E F#m F#m D D A A
the serenity of a clear blue mountain lake

A A B B E E
And the Colorado Rocky Mountain high
A A B B E E
I've seen it raining fire in the sky
A A B B E E B B A A
talk to God and listen to the casual reply
B B E E F#m F#m A A
Rocky Mountain high, Colorado
B B E E F#m F#m A A B7 B7
Rocky Mountain high, Colorado

E E
Now his life is full of wonder,
F#m F#m D D B B
but his heart still knows some fear;
E E F#m F#m D D A A
of a simple thing he cannot comprehend
E E
Why they try to tear the mountains down,
F#m F#m D D B B
To bring in a couple more;
E E F#m F#m D D A A
more people, more scars upon the land

A A B B E E
And the Colorado Rocky Mountain high
A A B B E E
I've seen it raining fire in the sky
A A B B E E B B A A
I know he'd be a poorer man if he never saw an eagle fly
B B E E
Rocky Mountain high

A A B B E E
And the Colorado Rocky Mountain high
A A B B E E
I've seen it raining fire in the sky
A A B B E E A A
Friends around the campfire and everybody's high
B B E E F#m F#m A A
Rocky Mountain high, Colorado
B B E E F#m F#m A A
Rocky Mountain high, Colorado
B B E E F#m F#m A A
Rocky Mountain high, Colorado
B B E E F#m F#m A A
Rocky Mountain high, Colorado . . .
