E F#m7 A E F#m7 A
■ ■    ■ ■ ■    ■
       E                         F#m7          D   
He was born in the summer of his twentyseventh year
E                                 F#m7 A     
Coming home to a place he'd never been before
        E                              F#m7            D    
He left yesterday behind him you might say he was born again
          E                            F#m7 A
You might say he found a key for every door ■
        E                               F#m7     F#m F#m7
When he first came to the mountains his life was far away
E                            F#m7
On the road and hangin' by a song
        E                              F#m7           D   
But the string's already broken and he doesn't really care
         E                                   F#m7
It keeps changin' fast and it don't last for long


[Chorus]
        A        B              E   
But the Colorado Rocky Mountain high
A                    B           E  
I've seen it rainin' fire in the sky
    A               B            E             A      
The shadow from the starlight is softer than a lullaby
Esus4          E    F#m7
Rocky Mountain high ■   
Bsus4                E    F#m7
■     Rocky Mountain high ■   


[Verse]
E                                     F#m7          D    
He climbed cathedral mountains he saw silver clouds below
B  E                                F#m7 Bsus4
He saw everything as far as you can see  ■    
         E                                 F#m7               D   B
And they say that he got crazy once and he tried to touch the sun ■
       E                          F#m7   A
And he lost a friend but kept his memory ■
Bsus4  E                           F#m7            D      
Now he walks in quiet solitude the forests and the streams
B       E                      F#m7  Bsus4
Seeking grace in every step he takes ■    
E                                              D         
His sight has turned inside himself to try and understand
B   E                                 F#m7 Bsus4
The serenity of a clear blue mountain lake ■    


[Chorus]
        A        B              E   
And the Colorado Rocky Mountain high
A                    B           E  
I've seen it rainin' fire in the sky
A               B             E      A    
Talk to God and listen to the casual reply
               E    F#m7
Rocky Mountain high ■   
               E    F#m7
Rocky Mountain high ■   


[Verse]
        E                          F#m7                  D        
Now his life is full of wonder but his heart still knows some fear
     E                      F#m7       A
Of a simple thing he cannot comprehend ■
           E                                 F#m7              D   
While they try to tear the mountains down to bring in a couple more
E                               F#m7
More people more scars upon the land
        A        B              E   
And the Colorado Rocky Mountain high
     A               B           E  
I've seen it rainin' fire in the sky
  A              B                E                  A  
I know he'd be a poorer man if he never saw an eagle fly
E                  
Rocky Mountain high


[Chorus]
A        B              E   
Colorado Rocky Mountain high
     A               B           E  
I've seen it rainin' fire in the sky
A                  B            E           A   
Friends around the campfire and everybody's high
               E   
Rocky Mountain high
F#m                E    F#m
■   Rocky Mountain high ■  
F#m7                E   
■    Rocky Mountain high
F#m7                E    F#m7
■    Rocky Mountain high ■   
               E   
Rocky Mountain high
F#m7                E    F#m7 E
■    Rocky Mountain high ■    ■
