[F#m] [A]
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 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, his [F#m] life was [D] far [B] away, on the [E] road, hanging by [F#m] a song.
[A] But [E] the string's already broken, [F#m] and he doesn't really [D]
care.
[B] It [E] keeps changing fast, and it don't last [F#] long.
[A] The Colorado [B]
Rocky Mountain [E] High,
[A] it rained [B]
fire [E] in the sky.
[A] Shadow from [B] the starlight [E] is softer than a [A]
lullaby.
[E] Rocky Mountain [E] High,
[F#m] Rocky Mountain [E] High.
[F#m] He climbed Cathedral Mountain, [F#m] he saw silver [D] clouds below.
[B] [E] He saw everything as far as you can [F#m] see.
[E] And they say that he got crazy [F#m] once, and he tried to [D] touch the [B] sun.
[E] And he lost a friend, but kept the [F#m] memory.
Now he walks in quiet solitude, [F#]
the rivers [D] and the [B] stream.
[E] Seeking grace with every step he [F#m] takes.
[A] His [E] sight is turned inside [F#m] himself to try and [D] understand [B] [E] the serenity of a clear blue [F#m] mountain lake.
[A] The Colorado [B] Rocky Mountain [E]
High, [A] I've seen it rain [B] fire in [E] the sky.
[A]
Talk to [B] God and listen to [E] the casual [A] reply.
[E]
Rocky Mountain High, [F#m] Rocky [E] Mountain High.
[F#m]
[B] Now [E] his life is full of wonder, [F#] but his [F#m] heart still [D] knows some [B] fear [E] of a simple thing he cannot [F#m] comprehend.
[B] While they [E] try to tear the mountains [F#m] down, they bring in a couple [D]
[B] more, [E] more people, more scars upon [F#m] the land.
[A] The Colorado [B]
Rocky Mountain [E] High, [A] I've seen it [B] rain fire [E] in the sky.
[A] No heed [B]
before a [E] man if he never saw an eagle fly.
Rocky Mountain High, [A]
[B] Rocky Mountain [E] High.
[A] I've seen it [B] rain fire [E] in the sky.
[A]
Friends around [B] can't fly, [E] and everybody's high.
[A]
Rocky [E] Mountain High,
[F#m]
Rocky Mountain, [E]

Rocky Mountain High,
