She came [A] from [Em] the mountains, [A] rocky mountains eagle [D] high.
She's from where [Em] the mountains
[A] lean up to [D] the sky.

[D] thunders cry.
Now the wind from [Em] off the mountains [A] wails a [G] [D] sad goodbye.
Once in [Em] Colorado Springs at the foot of old Pikes Peak [A] I met [D] a rocky mountain [G] [C#] girl.
[D] To my soul her heart did speak.

wish that you were [G] dead.
[E] [D] The next day I took her with me to my [Am] far [D] off Iowa home.

Months passed as fast as [Em] antelopes until one fatal [F#] [G] dismal [A] dawn.
I [B] woke to [A] see the morning [Em]
sun [D] shine down on where she was gone.
I'd known that lately she had been [C#m]
[Bm] sad.
[Em] Women sometimes get that [E] way.
[A] I hadn't guessed [E] how [A] much was [G] wrong until [E] [D] that fatal day.
She had left a weeping letter homesick with mountain [C#m] names.
[Bm] [Em] She was somewhere in the Rockies and I [A] knew I'd been to blame.
