       [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
