[Intro 1]
[D][Em][G][A]
[D][Em][G]
[A]He was born

[Verse 1]
[D]in the summer
of his [Em]27th [C]year[A]
Coming [D]home to a place
he'd never [Em]been [G]before[A]
He left [D]yesterday behind him,
you might [Em]say he was born ag[C]ain[A]
You might [D]say he found a key
for every [Em]door[G][A]
When he [D]first came to the mountains
his [Em]life was far a[C]way
[A]On the [D]road
and hanging by a [Em]song[G][A]
But the [D]string's already broken
and he [Em]doesn't really [C]care[A]
It keeps [D]changing fast
and it don't last for [Em]long[G][A]

[Chorus 1]
But the [G]Colorado [A]rocky mountain [D]high
I've [G]seen it rainin' [A]fire in the [D]sky
The [G]shadow from the [A]starlight
is [D]softer than a lulla[G]bye[G]
Rocky mountain [D]high (Colo[Em]rado)[G]
Rocky [A]mountain [D]high (Colo[Em]rado)
[G][A]

[Verse 2]
He [D]climbed cathedral mountains,
he saw [Em]silver clouds be[C]low[A]
He saw [D]everything
as far as you can [Em]see[G][A]
And they [D]say that he got crazy once
and he [Em]tried to touch the [C]sun[A]
And he [D]lost a friend
but kept the memo[Em]ry[G][A]
Now he [D]walks in quiet solitude
the [Em]forest and the [C]streams
[A]Seeking [D]grace
in every step he [Em]takes[G][A]
His [D]sight has turned inside himself
to [Em]try and under[C]stand[A]
The se[D]renity
of a clear blue mountain [Em]lake[G][A]

[Chorus 2]
And the [G]Colorado [A]rocky mountain [D]high
I've [G]seen it rainin' [A]fire in the [D]sky
[G]Talk to God and lis[A]ten to
the [D]casual re[G]ply[G]
Rocky mountain [D]high (Colo[Em]rado)[G]
Rocky [A]mountain [D]high (Colo[Em]rado)
[G][A]

[Verse 3]
Now his [D]life is full of wonder
but his [Em]heart still knows some [C]fear[A]
Of a [D]simple thing
he cannot compre[Em]hend[G][A]
Why they [D]try to tear the mountains down
to [Em]bring in a couple [C]more[A]
More [D]people,
more scars upon the [Em]land[G][A]

[Chorus 3]
And the [G]Colorado [A]rocky mountain [D]high
I've [G]seen it rainin' [A]fire in the [D]sky
I [G]know he'd be a [A]poorer man
if he [D]never saw an eagle [G]fly[G]
Rocky mountain [D]high

[Chorus 4]
[G]Colorado [A]rocky mountain [D]high
I've [G]seen it rainin' [A]fire in the [D]sky
[G]Friends around the [A]campfire
and [D]everybody's [G]high[G]
Rocky mountain [D]high (Colo[Em]rado)[G]
Rocky [A]mountain [D]high (Colo[Em]rado)[G]
Rocky [A]mountain [D]high (Colo[Em]rado)[G]
Rocky [A]mountain [D]high (Colo[Em]rado)[G]
Rocky [A]mountain [D]high...
[Repeat and fade]
