My home is [Fm] Colorado With [Ab] the [Db] proud mountains [Ab] tall
Where [Fm] the rivers [Eb] like gypsies [Db] Down a black [Ab] canyon's fall
[Fm] I'm a long, long way [Ab] from Denver With a long way to [Bb] go
[Eb] So lend an [Db] ear to [Ab] my singing Cause [A] I'll be [Ab] back no more
I left [Fm] as a young man, [Ab] not full of seventeen With [F] nothing [Ab] for company
But [Db] the wind and a [Ab] dream [F] About all the [Ab] fast ladies
And living [Bb] I'd find [Eb] When [Abm] I left [Db] my [Ab] proud mountains
And rivers behind So I rode and [Fm] I rambled
[Db] Like a leaf in the [Ab] wind Well [Fm] I found my [Ab] fast ladies
[Db] And some hard living [Ab] men Well [Fm] I sometimes went [Ab] hungry
With my [Db] pockets all [Eb] bare Lord [Db] sometimes I [Ab] had good luck
[Db] With money to [Ab] spare Well I made me some friends [F] Lord
That [Ab] I won't [Db] soon forget [Ab] [Fm] Some are [Ab] down under
[Db] Some are rambling [Ab] yet [Fm] As [Ab] for me
I'm [Db] headed for [Eb] home Back [Db] to high [Ab] Colorado
[Db] Never more for to [Ab] roam So friends when [Fm] my time comes
[Db] As surely [Ab] it will [Fm] You just carry my [Ab] body
[Db] Out to some [Ab] lonesome hill [Fm] Lay me [Ab] down [Fm] easy
[Db] Where the cool rivers [Eb] run Oh [Db] with only my [Ab] mountain
Between [Db] me and the [Ab] sun My home is [Db] Colorado
[Ab] My home [Ab] is [Db] Colorado My [Ab] home is [Db] Colorado
