He was [E] born in the summer,
of his[F#m] twenty [D] seventh [B] year;
Coming[E] home to a place
he'd never[F#m] been [A] before
He[E] left yesterday behind him,
you might[F#m] say he was [D] born [B] again
You might[E] say he found a key
for[F#m] every [A] door
When he[E] first came to the mountains,
his[F#m] life was [D] far [B] away;
On the[E] road and hanging [F#m] by a [A] song
But the[E] string's already broken,
and he[F#m] doesn't [D] really [B] care;
It keeps[E] changing fast,
and it don't[F#m] last for [A] long [B]
But the[A] Colorado [B] Rocky Mountain [E] high
I've[A] seen it raining [B] fire in the [E] sky
The[A] shadow from the [B] starlight is
[E] softer than a [A] lul [B] la [A] by
Rocky[B] Mountain [E] .. [F#m] high, [A] Colorado
Rocky[B] Mountain [E] .. [F#m] high, [A] Colorado [B7]
He[E] climbed cathedral mountains,
he saw[F#m] silver [D] clouds [B] below;
he saw[E] everything as far as [F#m] you can [A] see
And they[E] say that he got crazy once,
and he[F#m] tried to [D] touch the [B] sun;
And he[E] lost a friend
but[F#m] kept the [D] .. [A] memory
Now he[E] walks in quiet solitude,
the[F#m] forests [D] and the [B] streams;
seeking[E] grace in every [F#m] step he [A] takes
His[E] sight has turned inside himself
to[F#m] try and [D] [B] understand;
the[E] serenity of a
[F#m] clear blue [D] mountain [A] lake
And the[A] Colorado [B] Rocky Mountain [E] high
I've[A] seen it raining [B] fire in the [E] sky
[A] talk to God and [B] listen to
the[E] [A] casual [B] re [A] ply
Rocky[B] Mountain [E] .. [F#m] high, [A] Colorado
Rocky[B] Mountain [E] .. [F#m] high, [A] Colorado [B7]
Now his[E] life is full of wonder,
but his[F#m] heart still [D] knows some [B] fear;
of a[E] simple thing he [F#m] cannot [D] [A] comprehend
Why they[E] try to tear the mountains down,
To[F#m] bring in a [D] couple [B] more;
more[E] people, more [F#m] scars [D] upon the [A] land
And the[A] Colorado [B] Rocky Mountain [E] high
I've[A] seen it raining [B] fire in the [E] sky
I[A] know he'd be a [B] poorer man
if he[E] never saw an [A] eag [B] le [A] fly
Rocky[B] Mountain [E] high
And the[A] Colorado [B] Rocky Mountain [E] high
I've[A] seen it raining [B] fire in the [E] sky
[A] Friends around the [B] campfire
and[E] every [B] body's [A] high
Rocky[B] Mountain [E] .. [F#m] high, [A] Colorado
Rocky[B] Mountain [E] .. [F#m] high, [A] Colorado
[B] Rocky Mou [E] ntai [F#m] n high [A] , Colorado
Rocky[B] Mountain [E] .. [F#m] high, [A] Colorado . . .
