He was [E] born in the summer of [F#m] his [D] 27th [B] year, [E] coming home to a place he'd never [F#m] been before.
He left [E] yesterday behind him, [F#m] you might say he was [D] born again, [B] you [E] might say he found a key for every [F#m] door.
When [E] he first came through the mountains, [F#m] his life was far [D] away, [B] on [E] the road, hanging [F#m] by a thong.
But the [E] string's already broken, [F#m] and he doesn't [D] really [B] care.
[E] It keeps changing fast, and it don't last [F#m] long.
The [A] Colorado [B] Rocky Mountain [E] High,

[E] And they say that he got crazy once, [F#m] and his wife touched the [D] sun, [B]
[E] and he lost a friend that kept her memory.
[F#m] Now [E] he walks in quiet solitude, [F#m] the forests and the [D] [B] streams, [E] he's racing every step [F#m] he takes.
His [E] sight is turned inside of himself [F#m] to try and [D] understand [B]
the [E] serenity of the clear blue mountain [F#m] range.
The Colorado [C#] [B] Rocky Mountain [E] High,

[F#m]
Now [E] his life is full of wonder, [F#m] but his heart still [D] knows some [B] fear [E] of a simple thing he cannot [F#m] comprehend.
[E] While they try to tear the mountains [F#m] down, they bring in a couple [D] [B] more, [E] more people, more scars [F#m] upon the land.
[A] The Colorado [B] Rocky Mountain [E] High,
