He was born in the summer of his 27th year,
G C
Comin' home to a place he'd never been before.
G Em C D
He left yesterday behind him, you might say he was born again,
G D
You might say he found a key for every door.
G C D
When he first came to the mountain his life was far away,
G D
On the road and hangin' by a song,
G Em C D
But the string's already broken and he doesn't really care,
G D
It keeps changin' fast and it don't last for long.
C D G C D G
But the Colorado Rocky Mountain high, I've seen it rainin' fire in the sky.
C D G C
The shadow from the starlight is softer than a lullaby.
G C G C
Rocky Mountain high, Colorado, Rocky Mountain high, Colorado.
G C D
He climbed cathedral mountains, he saw silver clouds below,
G D
He saw everything as far as you can see.
G Em C D
And they say that he got crazy once and he tried to touch the sun,
G D

And he lost a friend, but kept his memory.
G C D
Now he walks in quiet solitude the forests and the streams,
G D
Seeking grace in every step he takes.
G Em C D
His sight has turned inside himself to try and understand
G D
The serenity of a clear blue mountain lake.
C D G C D G
And the Colorado Rocky Mountain high, I've seen it rainin' fire in the sky.
C D G C
You can talk to God and listen to the casual reply.
G C G D
Rocky Mountain high, Colorado, Rocky Mountain high, Colorado.
G C D
Now his life is full of wonder, but his heart still know some fear
G D
Of a simple thing he cannot comprehend.
G Em C D
Why they try to tear the mountain down to bring in a couple more,
G D
More people, more scars upon the land.
C D G C D G
And the Colorado Rocky Mountain high, I've seen it rainin' fire in the sky.
C D G C
I know he'd be a poorer man if he never saw an eagle fly.
