Rocky Mountain High

[Intro] E  F#m  A  B7
        E  F#m  A  B7

       E
He was born in the summer
       F#m                 D  B
Of his twenty seventh year
       E                          F#m         A B
Coming home to a place he'd never been before
        E
He left yesterday behind him
           F#m                D B
You might say he was born again
          E                            F#m    A B
You might say he found a key for every door

        E                                F#m                D B
When he first came to the mountains, his life was far away

       E                     F#m   A B
On the road and hanging by a song
        E                               F#m                 D B
But the string's already broken, and he doesn't really care

         E                                    F#m    A B
It keeps changing fast, and it don't last for long
        A        B              E
But the colorado rocky mountain high
     A                B           E
I've seen it raining  fire in the sky
     A              B            E             F#m   G#m   A
The shadow from the starlight is softer than a lul…  la…   by

               E          F#m A B
Rocky mountain high, colorado
               E          F#m A B7
Rocky mountain high, colorado

   E                                   F#m                 D B
He climbed cathedral mountains, he saw silver clouds below
       E                            F#m A B
He saw everything as far as you can see
         E
And they say that he got crazy once
       F#m                    D B
And he tried to touch the sun
       E                          F#m    A B 
And he lost a friend but kept the memory
       E                            F#m                      D B
Now he walks in quiet solitude, the forests and the streams
        E                      F#m   A B                     
Seeking grace in every step he takes
    E
His sight has turned inside himself
   F#m                D B
To try and understand
      E                               F#m   A B
The serenity of a clear blue mountain lake
        A        B              E
And the colorado rocky mountain high
     A               B           E
I've seen it raining fire in the sky
A               B                E      F#m      G#m A
Talk to god and listen to the casual    re       ply
               E         F#m  A B
Rocky mountain high, colorado
               E          F#m A B7
Rocky mountain high, colorado
         E
Now his life is full of wonder
        F#m                        D B
But his heart still knows some fear
     E                            F#m   D A
Of a simple thing he cannot comprehend
         E
Why they try to tear the mountains down
                     F#m   D B
To bring in a couple more
     E                           F#m   D A
More people, more scars upon the land
        A        B                   E
And the colorado rocky mountain high
     A                B           E
I've seen it raining  fire in the sky
  A              B                                          
I know he'd be a poorer man
      E            F#m  G#m    A 
If he never saw an ea…  gle    fly
               E
Rocky mountain high
        A        B              E
And the colorado rocky mountain high
     A               B           E
I've seen it raining fire in the sky
A                  B            E     F#m    G#m   A   
Friends around the campfire and every bo…    dy's  high
