Rocky Mountain High Lyrics

Played around a D chord once you get used to the notes to play
start strumming through it to get the feel of the song

He was born in the summer of his 27th year
Comin' home to a place he'd never been before
He left yesterday behind him, you might say he was born again
You might say he found a key for every door
When he first came to the mountains his life was far away
On the road and hangin' by a song
But the string's already broken and he doesn't really care
It keeps changin' fast and it don't last for long
horus
But the Colorado rocky mountain high
I've seen it rainin' fire in the sky
G A* D Em(o5) D11 G5/D
The shadows from the starlight are softer than a lull---a---bye
Rocky mountain high (Colorado)
Rocky mountain high (high in Colorado)
He climbed cathedral mountains, he saw silver clouds below
He saw everything as far as you can see
And they say that he got crazy once and he tried to touch the sun
And he lost a friend but kept the memory
Now he walks in quiet solitude the forest and the streams
Seeking grace in every step he takes
His sight has turned inside himself to try and understand
The serenity of a clear blue mountain lake
horus
But the Colorado rocky mountain high
I've seen it rainin' fire in the sky
G A* D Em(o5) D11 G5/D
Talk to God and listen to the casual re--ply
Rocky mountain high (Colorado)
Rocky mountain high (high in Colorado)
Now his life is full of wonder but his heart still knows some fear
Of a simple thing he cannot comprehend
Why they try to tear the mountains down to bring in a couple more
More people, more scars upon the land
horus
But the Colorado rocky mountain high
I've seen it rainin' fire in the sky
G A* D Em(o5) D11 G5/D
I know he'd be a poorer man if he never saw an ea-----gle fly
Rocky mountain high
It's a Colorado rocky mountain high
I've seen it rainin' fire in the sky
G A* D Em(o5)D11 G5/D
Friends around the campfire and everybo----dy's high
Rocky mountain high (high in Colorado)
Rocky mountain high (high in Colorado)
Rocky mountain high (high in Colorado)
Rocky mountain high (high in Colorado)
Rocky mountain high (high in Colorado)
HoHold
Rocky mountain high (high in Colorado)
