_ _ [F#m] _ _ _
He [E] was born in the summer of [F#m] his _ [D] 27th year, [E] coming home to a place he'd [F#m] never been before. _
[E] He left yesterday behind him, [F#m] you might say he was [D] born [B] again, you [E] might say he found a key for every [F#m] door. _ _
_ [E] When he first came through the mountains, [F#m] his life was far [B] away, on [E] the road, hanging [F#m] by a stone.
_ [A] _
_ But the [E] string's already broken, [F#m] and he doesn't [D] really care.
[E] It keeps changing fast, and it don't [F#m] last long. _ _
_ [A] The Colorado [B]
Rocky [E] Mountain High, _ _ [A] I've seen it [B] rain and fire [E] in the sky. _
_ [A] The shadow [B] from the starlight [E] is softer than a [A] _
lullaby. _ _ _ _
_ _ _ [E] Rocky Mountain High, _ _ _ _
_ [F#m] _ _ Rocky Mountain [E] High, _ Rocky Mountain High, Colorado.
[F#m] _ _ _ _ He [E] climbed Cathedral Mountains, he [F#m] saw silver [D] clouds below, [B] he [E] saw everything as far as you can [F#m] see.
_ _ [E] And they say that he got crazy [F#m] once, and he tried to [D] touch the sun, [E] and he lost a friend but kept her memory.
[F#m] _ _ _ _ [E] Now he walks in quiet solitude, [F#m]
the forest [D] and the streams, [E] seeking _ grace in every step he [F#m] takes.
_ _ [A] His [E] sight is turned inside of [F#m] himself to try and [D] understand [E] the serenity of a clear blue [F#m] mountain lake.
The _ _ [A] _
Colorado [B] Rocky [E] Mountain High, _ _ _ [A] I've seen it [B] rain and fire [E] in the _ sky.
_ _ [A]
The hawk forgot [B] and descended to [E] the casual [A] blue fly. _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _
[E] Rocky Mountain High, _ _ [F#] Colorado, [F#m] _ _ _
Rocky [E] Mountain High, _ _ [F#m] Colorado. _ _ _
Now [E] his life is full of wonder, [F#] but his [F#m] heart still knows some [B] fear [E] of a simple thing he cannot [F#m] comprehend. _ _ _
While [E] they try to tear the mountains [F#m] down, they bring in a couple [D]
more, [E] more people, more scars [F#m] upon the land. _
_ [A] The Colorado [B]
Rocky Mountain [E] High, _ _ _ _ [A] I've seen it [B] rain and fire [E] in the sky. _
_ _ [A] No he'd [B] be poor or mad [E] if he never saw an [A] eagle fly. _ _ _ _
_ _ _ [E] Rocky Mountain High, _ _ _ [A] _
_ [B] Colorado, Rocky Mountain [E]
High, _ _ _ [A] I've seen it [E] rain and fire in the sky.
_ _ _ _ [A]
Friends around [B] the campfire [E] and _ everybody's high.
