Intro 1
(E major) (F sharp minor) (A major) (B major)
(E major) (F sharp minor) (A major)
(B major) He was born
Verse 1
(E major) in the summer
of his (F sharp minor) 27th year (D major) (B major)
Coming (E major) home to a place
he'd never (F sharp minor) been before (A major) (B major)
He left (E major) yesterday behind him,
you might (F sharp minor) say he was born again (D major) (B major)
You might (E major) say he found a key
for every door (F sharp minor) (A major) (B major)
When he (E major) first came to the mountains
his (F sharp minor) life was far away (D major)
(B major) On the road (E major)
and hanging by a song (F sharp minor) (A major) (B major)
But the (E major) string's already broken
and he (F sharp minor) doesn't really care (D major) (B major)
It keeps (E major) changing fast
and it don't last for long (F sharp minor) (A major) (B major)

Chorus 1
But the (A major) Colorado (B major) rocky mountain high (E major)
I've (A major) seen it rainin' fire (B major) in the sky (E major)
The (A major) shadow from the starlight (B major)
is softer (E major) than a lullabye (A major) (A major)
Rocky mountain high (E major) (Colorado) (F sharp minor) (A major)
Rocky (B major) mountain high (E major) (Colorado) (F sharp minor)
(A major) (B major)
Verse 2
He climbed (E major) cathedral mountains,
he saw (F sharp minor) silver clouds below (D major) (B major)
He saw (E major) everything
as far as you can (F sharp minor) see (A major) (B major)
And they (E major) say that he got crazy once
and he tried (F sharp minor) to touch the sun (D major) (B major)
And he (E major) lost a friend
but kept the memory (F sharp minor) (A major) (B major)
Now he (E major) walks in quiet solitude
the (F sharp minor) forest and the streams (D major)
(B major) Seeking (E major) grace
in every step he takes (F sharp minor) (A major) (B major)
His sight (E major) has turned inside himself
to try (F sharp minor) and understand (D major) (B major)
The se (E major) renity
of a clear blue mountain lake (F sharp minor) (A major) (B major)
Chorus 2
And the (A major) Colorado (B major) rocky mountain high (E major)
I've (A major) seen it rainin' fire (B major) in the sky (E major)
(A major) Talk to God and (B major) listen to
the casual (E major) re (A major) ply (A major)
Rocky mountain high (E major) (Colorado) (F sharp minor) (A major)
Rocky (B major) mountain high (E major) (Colorado) (F sharp minor)
(A major) (B major)
Verse 3
Now his life (E major) is full of wonder
but his (F sharp minor) heart still knows some (D major) fear (B major)
Of a (E major) simple thing
he cannot comprehend (F sharp minor) (A major) (B major)
Why they try (E major) to tear the mountains down
to (F sharp minor) bring in a couple more (D major) (B major)
More (E major) people,
more scars upon the land (F sharp minor) (A major) (B major)
Chorus 3
And the (A major) Colorado (B major) rocky mountain high (E major)
I've (A major) seen it rainin' fire (B major) in the sky (E major)
I (A major) know he'd be a poorer (B major) man
if he (E major) never saw an eagle (A major) fly (A major)
Rocky mountain high (E major)
Chorus 4
(A major) Colorado (B major) rocky mountain high (E major)
I've (A major) seen it rainin' fire (B major) in the sky (E major)
(A major) Friends around the campfire (B major)
and everybody's (E major) (A major) high (A major)
Rocky mountain high (E major) (Colorado) (F sharp minor) (A major)
Rocky (B major) mountain high (E major) (Colorado) (F sharp minor) (A major)
Rocky (B major) mountain high (E major) (Colorado) (F sharp minor) (A major)
Rocky (B major) mountain high (E major) (Colorado) (F sharp minor) (A major)
Rocky (B major) mountain high... (E major)
