[Verse 1]
[C]Col[Gsus4] or ado,[G]
[F]Colorado[C][F][C]
When the world leaves you [F]shivering
[Gsus4]And the blizzard blows,[G]
[C]When the snow fli[G]es[F]
and the night [C]falls[F]
[C]There's a light in the win[F]dow and[G]
[Gsus4]a place called home[G]
[F]At the end o[G]f the sto[Am]rm.
[F][Am]

[Verse 2]
[Am]One night on the mountain I was
headed for Estes
When the [Dm]roads turned to ice
and it [Em]started to snow,
[Am]Put on the chains in a whirl
of [F]white powder[Am],
[Dm]Half way up to Berthoud near
[Gsus4]a diner I[G] know

[Verse 3]
And the [C]light burned inside,
shin[F]ing down through the snowfall
[Bb]God it was cold and the
[Am]temperature [F]droppin',
[C]Went in for coffee and
[F]shivered as I drank it,
[Bb]Warm in my hands in
[Am]the steam as it rose.

[Verse 4]
[Am]Sitting there at the counter was
a dark headed stranger,
[Dm]Me and the owner and
[Em]him keepin warm,
[Am]Nodded hello and I said it's a cold one
[Dm]Looks like there might be
a [Gsus4]blizzard [G]tonight -

[Verse 5]
And [C]"yes", said the owner,"
There's a [F]big storm on the mountain,
[Bb]Good thing we're open,
we could [Am]be here f[F]or hours
[C]There's nothing for miles and
[F]it's too late to get to Denver,
[Bb]Better not try for the
[Am]summit [F]tonig[C]ht".

[Verse 6]
And the [G]snow [F]fell
And the [C]night passed
And I talked to [F]the strangers[Gsus4]
While the blizzard [G]blew.

[Interlude 1]
[Am]

[Verse 7]
Me and the stranger, you know [F]I
don't talk [Am]to strangers,
I'm a [Dm]private sort of person
but [Em]a blizzard is a blizzard,
And [Am]somehow I found myself
saying you'd left me,
[Dm]Tellin' him everything I
[G]wanted to say to you.

[Verse 8]
[C]You know how it is when you
[F]can talk to a stranger,
[Bb]Someone your quite sure[Am]
you'll [F]never see [C]again -
Soon we were laughin',
an[F]d talkin', and drinkin'
[Bb]He said "you must kn[G]ow
you're too good for [C]him".

[Verse 9]
And the [G]snow [F]fell
And the night [C]passed
And I talked to the [F]stranger[Gsus4]
While the blizzard [G]blew.
[Am]

[Verse 10]
The stranger said "Love it
can cry you a river [Dm]-
Me, I'm a loner cause I [Em]can 't
take the heartache
[Am]And sometimes I'm a fighter when I
get too much whiskey -
[Dm]Here have a little whiskey,
pre[G]tend you don't give [C]a damn -

[Verse 11]
My cabin's up [F]here on
the side of the mountain
[Bb]You can go up there and slee[Am]p
[F]through the blizzard".
[C]I put on my parka,
said [F]goodbye to the owner
[Bb]Followed the stranger through the [Am]snow [F]up the mou[C]ntain

[Interlude 2]
side.
[G][F][C][F][G]
[C][Gsus4][G][Am]

[Verse 12]
Woke in the morning [Am]to the
sun on the snow,
[Dm]My car was buried in[Em] six
feet of snow drifts,
[Am]They dug me out,
just the owner and the stranger,
[Dm]Sent me on my way when[G] the
snowplow had been by

[Verse 13]
And [C]the roads were all clear and
the [F]sun on the mountains
[Bb]Sparkled like diamonds on the
[Am]peak to [F]peak [C]highway -
Then I knew [F]that I would get over [Bb]you,
knew you could leave me
[G]But you'd never break [C]me.

[Verse 14]
[G]Col[F]orado, Color[C]ado[F]
[C]When the world leaves you[F] shi[C]vering
And [Gsus4]the blizzard blows[G],[C]
When [G]the snow [F]flies
and the night [C]falls
There's a light in [F]the window
[C]and a pla[G]ce called hom[F]e
At [G]the end of [Am]the [F]stor[C]m.
