Rocky Mountain High chords
John Denver
Capo II
D Em G 2x
A7
D Em C A
He was born in the summer, of his twenty seventh year;
D Em G
Coming home to a place he'd never been before
D
He left yesterday behind him,
Em C A
you might say he was born again
D Em G
You might say he found a key for every door
D Em C A
When he first came to the mountains, his life was far away;
D Em G
On the road and hanging by a song
D Em C A
But the string's already broken, and he doesn't really care;
D Em G A
It keeps changing fast, and it don't last for long
G A D
But the Colorado Rocky Mountain high
G A D
I've seen it raining fire in the sky
G A D G A G
The shadow from the starlight is softer than a lul la by
A D Em G
Rocky Mountain high, Colorado
A D Em G A7
Rocky Mountain high, Colorado
D Em C A
He climbed cathedral mountains, he saw silver clouds below;
D Em G
he saw everything as far as you can see
D
And they say that he got crazy once,
Em C A
and he tried to touch the sun;
D Em C G
And he lost a friend but kept the memory
D Em C A
Now he walks in quiet solitude, the forests and the streams;
D Em G
seeking grace in every step he takes
D Em C A
His sight has turned inside himself to try and understand;
D Em C G
the serenity of a clear blue mountain lake
G A D
And the Colorado Rocky Mountain high
G A D
I've seen it raining fire in the sky
G A D G A G
talk to God and listen to the casual re ply
A D Em G
Rocky Mountain high, Colorado
A D Em G A7
Rocky Mountain high, Colorado
D
Now his life is full of wonder,
Em C A
but his heart still knows some fear;
D Em C G
of a simple thing he cannot comprehend
D
Why they try to tear the mountains down,
Em C A
To bring in a couple more;
D Em C G
more people, more scars upon the land
G A D
And the Colorado Rocky Mountain high
G A D
I've seen it raining fire in the sky
G A D G A G
I know he'd be a poorer man if he never saw an eag le fly
A D
Rocky Mountain high
G A D
And the Colorado Rocky Mountain high
G A D
I've seen it raining fire in the sky
G A D A G
Friends around the campfire and every body's high
A D Em G
Rocky Mountain high, Colorado
A D Em G
Rocky Mountain high, Colorado
A D Em G
Rocky Mountain high, Colorado
A D Em G
Rocky Mountain high, Colorado . . .
