GCD
He was born in the summer of his 27th year,
GC
Comin' home to a place he'd never been before.
GEmCD
He left yesterday behind him, you might say he was born again,
GC
You might say he found a key for every door.
GCD
When he first came to the mountain his life was far away,
GC
On the road and hangin' by a song,
GEmCD
But the string's already broken and he doesn't really care,
GC
It keeps changin' fast and it don't last for long.
CDGCDG
But the Colorado Rocky Mountain high, I've seen it rainin' fire in the sky.
CDGC
The shadow from the starlight is softer than a lullaby.
GCGC
Rocky Mountain high, Colorado, Rocky Mountain high, Colorado.
GCD
He climbed cathedral mountains, he saw silver clouds below,
GC
He saw everything as far as you can see.
GEmCD
And they say that he got crazy once and he tried to touch the sun,
GC
And he lost a friend, but kept his memory.
GCD
Now he walks in quiet solitude the forests and the streams,
GC
Seeking grace in every step he takes.
GEmCD
His sight has turned inside himself to try and understand
GC
The serenity of a clear blue mountain lake.
CDGCDG
And the Colorado Rocky Mountain high, I've seen it rainin' fire in the sky.
CDGC
You can talk to God and listen to the casual reply.
GCGC
Rocky Mountain high, Colorado, Rocky Mountain high, Colorado.
GCD
Now his life is full of wonder, but his heart still know some fear
GC
Of a simple thing he cannot comprehend.
GEmCD
Why they try to tear the mountain down to bring in a couple more,
GC
More people, more scars upon the land.
CDGCDG
And the Colorado Rocky Mountain high, I've seen it rainin' fire in the sky.
CDGC
I know he'd be a poorer man if he never saw an eagle fly.
GCDG
