             E                                        F#m    D           B  
He was born in the summer, of his twenty seventh year  
              E                                         F#m              A B  
Coming home to a place he'd never been before  
      E                                                        F#m                      D     B  
He left yesterday behind him, you might say he was born again  
                 E                                            F#m   A B  
You might say he found a key, for every door  
                E                                                F#m     D    B  
When he first came to the mountains, his life was far away  
            E                                  F#m   A B  
On the road and hanging by a song  
              E                                              F#m     D       B  
But the string's already broken, and he doesn't really care  
             E                                                   F#m  A B   
It keeps changing fast, and it don't last for long  
             A             B                        E      E4 E  
But the Colorado Rocky Mountain high  
       A                     B             E     E4 E  
I've seen it raining fire in the sky  
       A                            B            E                          A  
The shadow from the starlight is softer than a lullaby   
                           E              F#m  A  
Rocky Mountain high, Colorado  
           B              E             F#m  A B  
Rocky Mountain high, Colorado  
      E                                                          F#m  D             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     D             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 the memory  
             E                                         F#m     D            B  
Now he walks in quiet solitude, the forests and the streams  
             E                                   F#m   A B  
Seeking grace in every step he takes   
      E                                                   F#m     D         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      E4 E  
And the Colorado Rocky Mountain high  
       A                     B             E     E4 E  
I've seen it raining fire in the sky  
A                        B                 E         A   
Talk to God and listen to the casual reply  
                           E              F#m  A  
Rocky Mountain high, Colorado

             E                                          F#m         D                  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        D          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     E4 E  
And the Colorado Rocky Mountain high  
       A                     B             E     E4 E  
I've seen it raining fire in the sky  
  A                       B                          E                              A     
I know he'd be a poorer man, if he never saw an eagle fly  
                           E  
Rocky Mountain high  
              A             B                         E      E4 E  
And the Colorado Rocky Mountain high  
       A                     B             E     E4 E

A                             B                    E                  A  
Friends around the campfire and every body's high  
                           E              F#m  A
