Rocky Mountian High John Denver You can play open chords,Barre Chords, what ever sounds good to you. I prefer Barre Chords at a minimum in the chorus` and if you listen to the original recording you can place the octaves where they go. Original was capoed at 2nd fret and played in D but I suspect it was because John favored the hammering of B,G#,F,E notes played out of the opening D Chord.
