D Em7 C A
He was born in the summer of his twenty seventh year
D Em7 G A
coming home to a place he'd never been before
D Em7
he left yesterday behind him you might say he was
C A D
born again you might say he found the key
Em7 G A D
to every door when he first came to
Em7 C A D
the mountains his life was far away on the road
Em7 G A D
and hangin' by a song but the string's already broken
Em7 C A D
and he doesn't really care it keeps changin' fast
Em7 G A
and it don't last for long
G A D
CHORUS#1: But the Colorado Rocky Mountain high
G A D G
I've seen it raining fire in the sky the shadow from
A D Em7 Dmaj7 G
the starlight is softer than a lul--la---by
D Em7 G A D
Rocky Mountain high Rocky Mountain high
D Em7 C A
He climbed cathedral mountains he saw silver clouds below
D Em7 G A D
he saw everything as far as you can see and they say
Em7 C A
that he got crazy once and he tried to touch the sun
D Em7 G A
and he lost a friend but kept his memory
D Em7 C
Now he walks in quiet solitude the forest and the streams
A D Em7 G A
seeking grace in every step he takes
D Em7 C A
his sight has turned inside himself to try and understand
D Em7 G A
the serenity of a clear blue mountain lake
G A D
CHORUS#2: And the Colorado Rocky Mountain high
G A D
I've seen it raining fire in the sky
G A D Em7 Dmaj7 G
talk to God and listen to the casual re----ply
D Em7 G A D
Rocky Mountain high Rocky Mountain high
D Em7
Now his life is full of wonder but his heart still
C A D Em7 G A
knows some fear of a simple thing he cannot comprehend
D Em7
why they try to tear the mountains down to bring in
C A D Em7 G A
a couple more more poeple more scars upon the land
G A D
LAST CHORUS: And the Colorado Rocky Mountain high
G A D
I've seen it raining fire in the sky
G A
I know he'd be a poorer man
D Em7 Dmaj7 G
if he never saw an ea--gle fly
D Em7 G A
Rocky Mountain high
G A D
it's a Colorado Rocky Mountain high
G A D
I've seen it raining fire in the sky
G A D Em7 Dmaj7 G
friends around the campfire and everybo--dy's high
D Em7 G A D Em7
Rocky Mountain high Rocky Mountain high
G A D Em7 G A ...
Rocky Mountain High Rocky Mountain... repeat and fade
