C Dm
Looking out the window of this Hollywood hotel,
G C
You'd never know that it was Christmas Eve.
C Dm
The billboards and the neon took the place of silver bells,
G C
And the temperature is 84 degrees.
Dm G
I can hear the traffic on the crowded strip below
Dm G
As the palm trees poke their heads above the scene
C Dm
There's not a single reindeer and it hardly ever snows,
G C
And Santa drives a Rolls Royce limosine.
Bb F C
But all along the Rockies you can feel it in the air
Bb F G
From Telluride to Boulder down below
C Dm
The closest thing to Heaven on this planet anywhere
G C
Is a quiet Christmas morning in the Colorado snow
C Dm
I remember Christmases when I was just a boy
G C
In the morning I would run to see the tree.
C Dm
And the carolers on the hillside sang their songs of Christmas joy
G C
Well, I always thought they sang them just for me.
Dm G
Now the sun is setting in the California sky
Dm G
And I can't find the spirit anywhere
C Dm
So I think its time for me to tell Los Angeles goodbye
G C
I'm going back home to look for Christmas there
Bb F C
But all along the Rockies you can feel it in the air
Bb F G
From Telluride to boulder down below
C Dm
The closest thing to Heaven on this planet anywhere
G C
Is a quiet Christmas morning in the Colorado snow
