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.

                            He Was Born
           F#m A  B
in the summer of his 27th year
    E             F#m     A B
Comin` home to a place he`d never been before
    E               F#          A
He left yesterday behind him you might say he was born again
B     E              F#m  A B
You might say he found a key for every door


    E                F#m        A
When he first came to the mountains his life was far away
B   E           F#m  A B
On the road and hangin` by a song
    E               F#m         A B
But the string`s already broken and he doesn`t really care
     E                 F#m A B
It keeps changin`fast and it don`t last for long


    A    B       E
But the Colorado rocky mountain high
   A        B      E
I`ve seen it rainin` fire in the sky
  A        B      E       F#m G#m A
The shadow from the starlight is softer than a lul..la..bye
        E      F#m  A B
Rocky mountain high (In Colorado)
        E         F#m  A B
Rocky Mountain High (High in Colorado)

  E                 F#m      A   B
He climbed cathedral mountains he saw silver clouds below
    E              F#m A B
He saw everything as far as you can see
     E                 F#m        A  B
And they say that he got crazy once and he tried to touch the sun
    E               F#m A B
And he lost a friend but kept his memory


    E              F#m      A    B
Now he walks in quiet solitude the forest and the streams
    E           F#m  A B
Seeking grace in every step he takes
  E                 F#m     A   B
His sight has turned inside himself to try and understand
  E                 F#m  A B
The serenity of a clear blue mountain lake


    A    B        E
And the Colorado rocky mountain high
   A        B      E
I`ve seen it rainin` fire in the sky
    A        B       E F#m G#m A
You can talk to God and listen to the cas.ual re..ply
        E         F#m  A
Rocky mountain high (High in Colorado)
   B    E         F#m  A B
Rocky Mountain High (High in Colorado)

    E               F#m          A  B
Now his life is full of wonder but his heart still knows some fear
   E              F#m  A B
Of a simple thing he cannot comprehend
     E                 F#m        A  B
Why they try to tear the mountains down to bring in a couple more
   E             F#m  A B
More people more scars upon the land


    A    B       E
And the Colorado rocky mountain high
   A        B      E
I`ve seen it rainin` fire in the sky
 A       B         E      F#m G#m A
I know he`d be a poorer man if he`d never saw an eag..le  fly
        E
Rocky mountain high


A    B       E
Colorado rocky mountain high
   A        B      E
I`ve seen it rainin` fire in the sky
A         B      E F#m G#m  A
Friends around the campfire and everybody`s high
        E         F#m  A
Rocky mountain high (High in Colorado)
   B    E         F#m  A
Rocky mountain high (High in Colorado)
   B    E        F#m   A
Rocky mountain high... (in Colorado)
   B    E        F#m   A
Rocky mountain high... (in Colorado)
   B    E    F#m A
Rocky mountain high........
   B    E        F#m
