[D][Em][G] 
[A7]

He was [D]born in the summer 
of his [Em]twenty [C]seventh [A]year
Coming [D]home to a place 
hed never [Em]been be[G]fore
He [D]left yesterday behind him
you might [Em]say he 
was [C]born a[A]gain
You might [D]say he found 
a key for [Em]every [G]door

When he [D]first came 
to the mountains 
his [Em]life was [C]far a[A]way
On the [D]road and hanging 
[Em]by a [G]song
But the [D]strings already broken 
and he [Em]Doesn't [C]really [A]care
It keeps [D]changing fast 
and it don't [Em]last for [G]long[A]

{C:A7 x02020}
But the [G]Colorado 
[A]Rocky Mountain [D]high
I've [G]seen it raining 
[A]fire in the [D]sky
The [G]shadow from the [A]starlight 
is [D]softer than a [G]lul [A]la [G]by
Rocky [A]Mountain [D]high[Em] 
Colo[G]rado
Rocky [A]Mountain [D]high[Em] 
Colo[G]rado[A7]

He [D]climbed cathedral mountains 
he saw [Em]silver [C]clouds be[A]low
he saw [D]everything as far 
as [Em]you can [G]see
And they [D]say that he got crazy once
and he [Em]tried to [C]touch the [A]sun
And he [D]lost a friend but 
[Em]kept the [C]memo[G]ry

Now he [D]walks in quiet solitude 
the [Em]forests [C]and the [A]streams
seeking [D]grace in every 
[Em]step he [G]takes
His [D]sight has turned inside himself 
to [Em]try and [C]under[A]stand
the se[D]renity of a 
[Em]clear blue [C]mountain [G]lake

{C:A7 x02020}
And the [G]Colorado 
[A]Rocky Mountain [D]high
I've [G]seen it raining 
[A]fire in the [D]sky
[G]talk to God and [A]listen 
to the [D]casu[G]al [A]re [G]ply
Rocky [A]Mountain [D]high[Em] 
Colo[G]rado
Rocky [A]Mountain [D]high[Em] 
Colo[G]rado[A7]

Now his [D]life is full of wonder
but his [Em]heart still 
[C]knows some [A]fear
of a [D]simple thing he 
[Em]cannot [C]compre[G]hend
Why they [D]try to tear 
the mountains down
To [Em]bring in a [C]couple [A]more
more [D]people more [Em]scars 
u[C]pon the [G]land

And the [G]Colorado 
[A]Rocky Mountain [D]high
I've [G]seen it raining 
[A]fire in the [D]sky
I [G]know hed be a [A]poorer man 
if he [D]never saw an
[G]eag[A]le [G]fly
Rocky [A]Mountain [D]high

And the [G]Colorado [
A]Rocky Mountain [D]high
I've [G]seen it raining 
[A]fire in the [D]sky
[G]Friends around the [A]campfire 
and [D]every [A]bodys [G]high
Rocky [A]Mountain [D]high[Em] 
Colo[G]rado
Rocky [A]Mountain [D]high[Em] 
Colo[G]rado
[A]Rocky Mou[D]ntai[Em]n high[G]
