Verse:
D D Em |C A|
He was born in the summer, of his twenty seventh year;
D D Em |G A|
Coming home to a place he”d never been before
D D
He left yesterday behind him,
Em |C A|
you might say he was born again
D D Em |G A|
You might say he found a key for every door
Verse:
D D Em |C A|
When he first came to the mountains, his life was far away
D D Em |G A|
On the road and hanging by a song
D D Em |C A|
But the string”s already broken, and he doesn”t really care;
D D Em | G A|
It keeps changing fast, and it don”t last for long
Chorus:
G A D D
But the Colorado Rocky Mountain high
G A D D
I”ve seen it raining fire in the sky
G A | D – G A | G G G G
The shadow from the starlight is softer than a lul la by
D D Em |G A|
Rocky Mountain high, Colorado
D D Em |G A|
Rocky Mountain high, Colorado
Verse:
D D Em |C A|
He climbed cathedral mountains, he saw silver clouds below;
D D Em |G A|
he saw everything as far as you can see
D D
And they say that he got crazy once,
Em |C A|
and he tried to touch the sun;
D D Em |C G|
And he lost a friend but kept the memory
Verse:
D D Em |C A|
Now he walks in quiet solitude, the forests and the streams;
D D Em |G A|
seeking grace in every step he takes
D D Em |C A|
His sight has turned inside himself to try and understand;
D D Em |C G|
the serenity of a clear blue mountain lake
Chorus:
G A D D
And the Colorado Rocky Mountain high
G A D D
I”ve seen it raining fire in the sky
G A |D – G A | G G G G
talk to God and listen to the casual re ply

Verse:
D D
Now his life is full of wonder,
Em |C A|
but his heart still knows some fear;
D D Em |C G|
of a simple thing he cannot comprehend
D D
Why they try to tear the mountains down,
Em |C A|
To bring in a couple more;
D D Em |C G|
more people, more scars upon the land
Chorus:
G A D D
And the Colorado Rocky Mountain high
G A D D
I”ve seen it raining fire in the sky
G A |D – G A | G G G G
I know he”d be a poorer man if he never saw an eag le fly
D D
Rocky Mountain high
G A D D
And the Colorado Rocky Mountain high
G A D D
I”ve seen it raining fire in the sky
G A |D – G A | G G G G
Friends around the campfire and every body”s high
