Chords for John Denver - Rocky Mountain High (from The Wildlife Concert)

[E] _ _ _ _ [F#m] _ _ _ _
[E] _ _ _ _ [F#m] _ _ [E] He was born in the summer [F#m] of his [D] 27th [B] year, [E] coming home to a place he'd [A] never been before.
[E] Left yesterday behind [F#m] him, you might say he was [D] born [B] again, [E] might say he found the key for [F#m] every door.
_ [E] When he first came to the mountains, [F#m] his life was [D] far [B] away, [E] on the road, hanging [F#m] by a song.
[A] _ [E] But the train's already broken, [F#m] and he doesn't [D] really [B] care, [E] keeps changing fast, it don't [F#m] last for [A] long. _ _
[B] Colorado, Rocky [E] Mountain High, _ [A] I've seen it [B] rain and fire [E] in the sky, _ [A] the shadow [B] from the starlight [E] is softening a [A] lullaby. _
_ _ _ Rocky [E] Mountain High, _
_ [F#m] _ _ Rocky [E] Mountain High, _ [F#m] _ _ _ [E] he climbed Cathedral Mountain, [F#m] saw silver [D] clouds [B] below, [E] saw everything as far [F#m] as you can see.
_ And to [E] say that he got crazy [F#m] once and tried to [D] touch the [B] sun, [E] and he lost a friend who kept his [F#m] memory.
_ _ [E] Now he walks in quiet solitude, [F#m] the forests and [D] the [B] streams, [E] seeking grace in every [F#m] step he takes.
_ [E] His sight has turned inside [F#m] himself to try and [D] [B] understand [E] the serenity of the blue, blue [F#m] mountain plain.
[A] _ _ Colorado, [B]
Rocky Mountain [E] High, _ _ [A] I've seen it [B] rain and fire [E] in the sky, _ [A] you can talk to God, [B] and listen to [E] the casual [A] reply. _ _ _ _
_ Rocky [E] Mountain High, _ _ [F#m] _
_ Rocky [E] Mountain High, _ [F#m] _
_ _ [E] now his life is full of wonder, [F#m] but his heart still knows [D] some fear, [B] [E] of a simple thing he cannot [F#m] comprehend.
_ _ [B] [E] While they try to tear the mountains [F#m] down, they're bringing a couple [D] more, [B] [E] more people, more scars upon [F#m] the [A] land.
_ _ Colorado, [B] Rocky [E] Mountain High, _ [A] I've seen it [B] rain and fire [E] in the sky, _ [A] I know [B] he'd be a poor man [E] if he never saw an eagle [A] fly. _ _ _ _
Rocky [E] Mountain High, _ [A] it's Colorado, [B]
Rocky Mountain [E] High, _ [A] I've seen it rain [B] and fire in [E] the sky, _ _ _ [A] friends [B] around a [E] campfire, [A] everybody's high. _ _ _
