[Verse 1]
Em G A          D                     Em               C
     He was born in the summer of his twenty seven year
A       D                          Em         G A
 Coming home to a place he'd never been before
        D
He left yesterday behind him,
          Em                   C A
you might say he was born again
          D                                Em G A
You might say he found a key for every door
        D                               Em               C
When he first came to the mountains his life was far away
A          D                 Em  G A
On the road and hanging by a song
        D                              Em
But the string's already broken and he does not really
    C
care
A         D                                       Em G A
 It keeps changing fast and it don't last for long

[Chorus]
        G        A                  D
But the Colorado rocky mountain high
     G                   A          D
I've seen it rainin' fire in the sky
    G                   A           D          Em F#m  G
The shadow from the starlight is softer than a lullabye
                   D
Rocky mountain high
G A                   D
   Rocky mountain high

[Verse 2]
G A          D
   He climbed cathedral mountains,
       Em                 C
he saw silver clouds below
A       D                            Em G A
 He saw everything as far as you can see
         D                                 Em
And they say that he got crazy once and he tried to touch
       C
the sun
A       D                                Em G A
 And he lost a friend but kept his memory
       D                           Em                    C
Now he walks in quiet solitude the forest and the streams
A       D                           Em G A
Seeking grace in every step he takes
          D                            Em                C
His sight has turned inside himself to try and understand
A      D                                   Em G A
 The serenity of a clear blue mountain lake

[Chorus]
G           A                   D
And the Colorado rocky mountain high
     G                   A          D
I've seen it raining fire in the sky
G                A               D   Em F#m G
 Talk to God and listen to the casual   reply
                   D
Rocky mountain high
Em G      A            D
    Rocky mountain high

[Verse 3]
Em G
A            D                         Em
 Now his life is full of wonder but his  heart still knows
     C   A
some fear
     D                                Em G A
Of a simple thing he cannot comprehend
            D                              Em
Why they try to tear the mountains down to bring in a
           C A
couple more
     D                               Em G A
More people, more scars upon the land

[Chorus]
        G        A                  D
And the Colorado rocky mountain high
     G                   A          D
I've seen it rainin' fire in the sky
  G                 A             D            Em F#m G
I know he'd be a poorer man if he never saw an eagle  fly
                   D
Rocky mountain high
     G        A                  D
It's Colorado rocky mountain high
     G                   A          D
I've seen it rainin' fire in the sky
G                      A           D   Em  F#m G
Friends around the campfire and everybody's    high
Rocky mountain high

[Outro]
D Em G
      A            D Em G
Rocky mountain high
      A            D Em G
Rocky mountain high
      A            D Em G
Rocky mountain high
      A            D Em G
Rocky mountain high
      A
Rocky mountain high
