Intro 1
(E major) (F sharp minor7) (A major) (B9sus4)
(E major) (F sharp minor7) (A major)
(B9sus4) He was born
Verse 1
(E major) in the summer
of his (F sharp minor7) 27th year (D major) (B major)
Coming (E major) home to a place
he'd never (F sharp minor7) been before (A major) (B9sus4)
He left (E major) yesterday behind him,
you might (F sharp minor7) say he was born again (D major) (B major)
You might (E major) say he found a key
for every door (F sharp minor7) (A major) (B9sus4)
When he (E major) first came to the mountains
his (F sharp minor7) life was far away (D major)
(B major) On the road (E major)
and hanging by a song (F sharp minor7) (A major) (B9sus4)
But the (E major) string's already broken
and he (F sharp minor7) doesn't really care (D major) (B major)
It keeps (E major) changing fast
and it don't last for long (F sharp minor7) (A major) (B9sus4)

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 minor7) (A major)
Rocky (B9sus4) mountain high (E major) (Colorado) (F sharp minor7)
(A major) (B9sus4)
Verse 2
He climbed (E major) cathedral mountains,
he saw (F sharp minor7) silver clouds below (D major) (B major)
He saw (E major) everything
as far as you can (F sharp minor7) see (A major) (B9sus4)
And they (E major) say that he got crazy once
and he tried (F sharp minor7) to touch the sun (D major) (B major)
And he (E major) lost a friend
but kept the memory (F sharp minor7) (A major) (B9sus4)
Now he (E major) walks in quiet solitude
the (F sharp minor7) forest and the streams (D major)
(B major) Seeking (E major) grace
in every step he takes (F sharp minor7) (A major) (B9sus4)
His sight (E major) has turned inside himself
to try (F sharp minor7) and understand (D major) (B major)
The se (E major) renity
of a clear blue mountain lake (F sharp minor7) (A major) (B9sus4)
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 minor7) (A major)
Rocky (B9sus4) mountain high (E major) (Colorado) (F sharp minor7)
(A major) (B9sus4)
Verse 3
Now his life (E major) is full of wonder
but his (F sharp minor7) heart still knows some (D major) fear (B major)
Of a (E major) simple thing
he cannot comprehend (F sharp minor7) (A major) (B9sus4)
Why they try (E major) to tear the mountains down
to (F sharp minor7) bring in a couple more (D major) (B major)
More (E major) people,
more scars upon the land (F sharp minor7) (A major) (B9sus4)
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 minor7) (A major)
Rocky (B9sus4) mountain high (E major) (Colorado) (F sharp minor7) (A major)
Rocky (B9sus4) mountain high (E major) (Colorado) (F sharp minor7) (A major)
Rocky (B9sus4) mountain high (E major) (Colorado) (F sharp minor7) (A major)
Rocky (B9sus4) mountain high... (E major)
