[E]
[F#m] He was [E] born in the summer of [F#m] his [D] 27th [B] year, [E] coming home to a place he'd [F#m] never been before.
He left [E] yesterday behind him, you [F#m] might say he was born [D] again, [B]
you [E] might say he found a key for [F#m] every door.
When he [E] first came to the mountains, [F#m] his life was [D] far away, [B] on the [E] road, hanging by [F#m] a stong.
But [E] the string's already broken, [F#m] and he doesn't really [D]
[B] care.
It [E] keeps changing fast, and it don't last [F#m] for long.
To [A] Colorado, [B]
Rocky Mountain [E] High, I've [A] seen it rain [B] and fire [E] in the sky.
[A] The shadows from [B] the starlight [E] are softer than a [A] lullaby.
[E] Rocky Mountain High, [F#m]
Rocky Mountain [E]
High, I've seen it all the [F#m]
way.
He [E]
climbed the feet of mountains, he [F#m] saw silver [D] clouds below, [B] he [E] saw everything as far as he can [F#m]
see.
[E] And they say that he got crazy [F#m] once, and he tried to touch [D] the [B] sun, [E] and he lost a friend but kept her memory.
[F#m]
[E] Now he walks in quiet solitude, [F#m] the forest and [D] the [B] streams, [E] seeking grace in every step he [F#m]
takes.
His [E]
sight has turned inside himself to [F#m]
try and [D] understand [B] [E] the serenity of a clear blue mountain [F#m]
lake.
To Colorado, [B] Rocky Mountain [E] High, [A] I've seen it rain [B] and fire [E] in the sky.
[A]
Hawks will [B] guide and repent [E] to the casual [A] fly.
Rocky [E] Mountain High,
[F#m] Rocky Mountain [E] High,
[F#m]
now [E] his life is full of wonder,
[F#m] but his heart still [D] knows some [B] fear [E] of a simple thing he cannot [F#m] comprehend.
While [E] they try to tear the mountains [F#m] down to bring in a couple [D] more, [B] [E] more people, more scars upon [F#m] the land.
[A] To Colorado, [B]
Rocky Mountain [E] High, [A] I've seen it [B] rain and fire [E] in the sky.
[A] No heed [B] before a [E] man if he never saw an [A] eagle fly.
Rocky [E] Mountain High, [A]
