[D] [Em7] [C] [A]
He was born in the summer of his twenty seventh year
[D] [Em7] [G] [A]
coming home to a place he'd never been before
[D] [Em7]
he left yesterday behind him you might say he was
[C] [A] [D]
born again you might say he found the key
[Em7] [G] [A] [D]
to every door when he first came to
[Em7] [C] [A] [D]
the mountains his life was far away on the road
[Em7] [G] [A] [D]
and hangin' by a song but the string's already broken
[Em7] [C] [A] [D]
and he doesn't really care it keeps changin' fast
[Em7] [G] [A]
and it don't last for long
[G] [A] [D]
CHORUS#1: But the Colorado Rocky Mountain high
[G] [A] [D] [G]
I've seen it raining fire in the sky the shadow from
[A] [D] [Em7] [Dmaj7] [G]
the starlight is softer than a lul-----la-----by
[D] [Em7] [G] [A] [D]
Rocky Mountain high Rocky Mountain high
[D] [Em7] [C] [A]
He climbed cathedral mountains he saw silver clouds below
[D] [Em7] [G] [A] [D]
he saw everything as far as you can see and they say
[Em7] [C] [A]
that he got crazy once and he tried to touch the sun
[D] [Em7] [G] [A]
and he lost a friend but kept his memory
[D] [Em7] [C]
Now he walks in quiet solitude the forest and the streams
[A] [D] [Em7] [G] [A]
seeking grace in every step he takes
[D] [Em7] [C] [A]
his sight has turned inside himself to try and understand
[D] [Em7] [G] [A]
the serenity of a clear blue mountain lake
[G] [A] [D]
CHORUS#2: And the Colorado Rocky Mountain high
[G] [A] [D]
I've seen it raining fire in the sky
[G] [A] [D] [Em7] [Dmaj7] [G]
talk to God and listen to the casual re-----ply
[D] [Em7] [G] [A] [D]
Rocky Mountain high Rocky Mountain high
[D] [Em7]
Now his life is full of wonder but his heart still
[C] [A] [D] [Em7] [G] [A]
knows some fear of a simple thing he cannot comprehend
[D] [Em7]
why they try to tear the mountains down to bring in
[C] [A] [D] [Em7] [G] [A]
a couple more more poeple more scars upon the land
[G] [A] [D]
LAST CHORUS: And the Colorado Rocky Mountain high
[G] [A] [D]
I've seen it raining fire in the sky
[G] [A]
I know he'd be a poorer man
[D] [Em7] [Dmaj7] [G]
if he never saw an ea----gle fly
[D] [Em7] [G] [A]
Rocky Mountain high
[G] [A] [D]
it's a Colorado Rocky Mountain high
[G] [A] [D]
I've seen it raining fire in the sky
[G] [A] [D] [Em7] [Dmaj7] [G]
friends around the campfire and everybo-----dy's high
[D] [Em7] [G] [A] [D] [Em7]
Rocky Mountain high Rocky Mountain high
[G] [A] [D] [Em7] [G] [A] ...
Rocky Mountain High Rocky Mountain... repeat and fade
