Rocky Mountain High Chords by John Denver

_ _ _ _ [F#m] _ _ _ _
[E] _ _ _ [F#m] _ _ _ [E] He was born in the summer [F#m] of his 27th year
[E] Coming home to a place he'd [A] never been before
[E] Left yesterday behind him, [F#m] you might say he was born again
[E] Might say he found the key for [F#m] every door
When [E] he first came to the mountains, [F#m] his life was far away
On [E] the road, hanging by [F#m] a song
[A] _ [E] But the string's already broken [F#m] and he doesn't really care
[E] Keeps changing fast, it don't [F#m] last for long
[A] _ _
Colorado, [B] Rocky [E] Mountain High
I've _ [A]
seen it [B] rain and fire [E] in the sky
_ [A] The shadow [B] from the starlight [E] is softer than a [A] lullaby _
_ _ _ Rocky [E] Mountain High, _
_ [F#m] _ _ [A] Rocky [E] Mountain High
He [F#m] _ _ [A] _ _ [E] climbed Cathedral Mountain, [F#m] saw silver [D] clouds below
[E] Saw everything as far [F#m] as you can see
And [E] to say that he got crazy [F#m] once and tried to [D] touch the sun
[E] And he lost a friend but kept his [F#m] memory
_ [A] _ [E] Now he walks in quiet solitude, [F#m] the forest and [D] the streams
[E] Seeking grace in every [F#m] step he takes
[A] _ [E] His sight has turned inside [F#m] himself to try and [D] understand
[E] The serenity of the clear blue [F#m] mountain lakes
[A] _ _ Colorado, [B]
Rocky Mountain [E] High
I've _ [A] seen it [B] rain and fire [E] in the sky
_ [A] You can talk to God [B] and listen to [F#] the casual [A] reply _ _ _ _
_ Rocky [E] Mountain High, _ _ [F#m] _
_ Rocky [E] Mountain High
_ _ [F#m] _
_ _ [E] Now his life is full of wonder [F#m] but his heart still knows some fear
[E] Of a simple thing he cannot [F#m] comprehend
_ _ [E] While they try to tear the mountains [F#m] down, they're bringing a couple more
[E] More people, more scars upon [F#m] the land
_ _ Colorado, [B] Rocky [E] Mountain High
_ [A] I've seen it [B] rain and fire [E] in the sky
_ [A] I know he'd be [B] a poor man [E] if he never saw an [A] eagle fly _ _ _ _
Rocky [E] Mountain High, it's [A] a [B] Colorado Rocky [E] Mountain High
_ [A] I've seen it [F#m] rain and fire [E] in the sky
_ _ [A] Friends [B] around a [E] campfire, [A] everybody's high _ _
