Capo II

D Em G A 2x

A7   D             Em   C    A
He was born in the summer, of his twenty seventh year;
    D          Em  C   A
Coming home to a place he'd never been before
  D
He left yesterday behind him,
       Em   C   A
you might say he was born again
     D       Em   C   A
You might say he found a key for every door

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

    G    A       D
But the Colorado Rocky Mountain high
   G        A      D
I've seen it raining fire in the sky
  G        A      D       A  G
The shadow from the starlight is softer than a lullaby
   A    D  Em  G
Rocky Mountain high, Colorado
   A    D  Em  G   A7
Rocky Mountain high, Colorado

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

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


    G    A       D
And the Colorado Rocky Mountain high
   G        A      D
I've seen it raining fire in the sky
G        A       D   A G
talk to God and listen 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     C     A
but his heart still knows some fear;
   D      Em    C   A
of a simple thing he cannot comprehend
D
Why they try to tear the mountains down,
  Em     C   A
To bring in a couple more;
   D      Em   C    A
more people, more scars upon the land

    G    A       D
And the Colorado Rocky Mountain high
   G        A      D
I've seen it raining fire in the sky
G        A        D      A   G
I know he'd be a poorer man if he never saw an eagle fly
   A    D  Em  G
Rocky Mountain high, Colorado
   A    D  Em  G   A7
Rocky Mountain high, Colorado

    G    A       D
And the Colorado Rocky Mountain high
   G        A      D
I've seen it raining fire in the sky
G         A      D  A   G
Friends around the campfire and everybody's high
   A    D  Em  G
Rocky Mountain high, Colorado
   A    D  Em  G   A7
Rocky Mountain high, Colorado
