   D  Em7  G

   A         D                       Em7            C   A
   He was born in the summer of his twenty seventh year
           D 	 	              Em7       G   A
   coming home to a place he'd never been before.
	    D                               Em7                C  A
   He left yesterday behind him, you might say he was born again
              D                              Em7  G  A
   you might say he found a key for ev'ry door.

            D                               Em7             C
   When he first came to the mountains his life was far away
   A          D                  Em7  G  A
   on the road and hangin' by a song.
	      D                           Em7               C  A
   But the strings already broken and he doesn't really care
              D                                     Em7  G   A
   it keeps changin' fast and it don't last for long.

                 G        A                 D
	But the Colorado Rocky Mountain high
              G                  A          D
	I've seen it rainin' fire in the sky
              G                A
	the shadow from the starlight
            D             Em7 Dmaj7  G
	is softer than a lull--a----by

			D  Em7 G        A           D  Em7  G  A
     Rocky Mountain high,        Rocky Mountain high

             D                            Em7               C   A
   He climbed Cathedral Mountains he saw silver clouds below
          D 	 	                Em7  G   A
   he saw ev'rything as far as you can see.
             D                                 Em7                 C  A
   And they say that he got crazy once and he tried to touch the sun
           D                                  Em7  G  A
   and he lost a friend but he kept his memory.

           D                           Em7                  C
   Now he walks in quiet solitude the forest and the streams
    A        D                        Em7  G  A
   seeking grace in ev'ry step he takes.
	   D                                Em7              C  A
   His sight has turned in side himself to try and understand
          D                                  Em7  G   A
   the serenity of a clear blue mountain lake.

                 G        A                 D
	And the Colorado Rocky Mountain high
              G                  A          D
	I've seen it rainin' fire in the sky
       G                 A               D  Em7 Dmaj7  G
	talk to God and listen to the cas-ual   re----ply

			D  Em7 G        A           D  Em7  G  A
     Rocky Mountain high,        Rocky Mountain high

           D                             Em7                        C   A
  Now his life is full of wonder but his heart still knows some fear
        D                           Em7  G  A
  of a simple thing he cannot comprehend.
	     D                                 Em7                 C  A
  Why they try to tear the mountains down to bring in a couple more
        D                              Em7  G  A
  more people more scars up on the land.

                 G        A                 D
	And the Colorado Mountain high
              G                  A          D
	I've seen it rainin' fire in the sky
            G                A
 	I know he'd be a poorer man
               D           Em7 Dmaj7  G
	if he never saw an ea--gle   fly.

			D  Em7 G        A           D  Em7  G  A
     Rocky Mountain high,        Rocky Mountain high

                G        A                 D
	It's a Colorado Mountain high
              G                  A          D
	I've seen it rainin' fire in the sky
          G                   A
	friends around the campfire 
            D     Em7 D    G
	and ev'rybo--dy's high

			D  Em7 G        A           D  Em7  G  A
     Rocky Mountain high,        Rocky Mountain high
