[Verse 1]
Em G AHe was bornD in the summer of his Emtwenty seven yearC A Coming Dhome to a place he'd never Embeen before G A
He left Dyesterday behind him, you might Emsay he was born again C A
You might Dsay he found a key for every door Em G A
When he Dfirst came to the mountains his Emlife was far away C
AOn the roadD and hanging by a Emsong G A
But the Dstring's already broken and he Emdoes not really careC A It keeps Dchanging fast and it don't last for long Em G A
[Chorus]
But the GColorado Arocky mountain high D
I've Gseen it rainin' fireA in the sky D
The Gshadow from the starAlight is sofDter than a EmlulF#mlabye G
Rocky mountain high D
G A Rocky mountain high D
[Verse 2]
G A He climbedD cathedral mountains, he saw Emsilver clouds belowC A He saw Deverything as far as you can Emsee G A
And they Dsay that he got crazy once and he Emtried to touch the sunC A And he Dlost a friend but kept his memory Em G A
Now he Dwalks in quiet solitude the Emforest and the streams C
ASeeking Dgrace in every step he takes Em G A
His sight Dhas turned inside himself to Emtry and understandC A The seDrenity of a clear blue mountain lake Em G A

Of a Dsimple thing he cannot comprehend Em G A
Why they tryD to tear the mountains down to Embring in a couple more C A
More Dpeople, more scars upon the land Em G A
