[Intro] E F#m A B7
E F#m A B7
E
He was born in the summer
F#m D B
Of his twenty seventh year
E F#m A B
Coming home to a place he'd never been before
E
He left yesterday behind him
F#m D B
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
But the colorado rocky mountain high
A B E
I've seen it raining fire in the sky
A B E F#m G#m A
The shadow from the starlight is softer than a lul… la… by
E F#m A B
Rocky mountain high, colorado
E F#m A B7
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
And they say that he got crazy once
F#m D B
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
His sight has turned inside himself
F#m D B
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 raining fire in the sky
A B E F#m G#m A
Talk to god and listen to the casual re ply
E F#m A B
Rocky mountain high, colorado
E F#m A B7
Rocky mountain high, colorado
E
Now his life is full of wonder
F#m D B
But his heart still knows some fear
E F#m D A
Of a simple thing he cannot comprehend
E
Why they try to tear the mountains down
F#m D B
To bring in a couple more
E F#m D A
More people, more scars upon the land
A B E
And the colorado rocky mountain high
A B E
I've seen it raining fire in the sky
A B
I know he'd be a poorer man
E F#m G#m A
If he never saw an ea… gle fly
E
Rocky mountain high
A B E
And the colorado rocky mountain high
A B E
I've seen it raining fire in the sky
A B E F#m G#m A
Friends around the campfire and every bo… dy's high
E F#m A B
Rocky mountain high, colorado
E F#m A B
Rocky mountain high, colorado
E F#m A B
Rocky mountain high, colorado
E F#m A B
Rocky mountain high, colorado
