John Denver - Rocky mountain high

^AHe was b^Dorn in the summer, of his twenty se^Em7venth year^C; ^A Comin' ^Dhome to a place he'd never been bef^Em7ore ^{G A} He left^D yesterday behind him, you might say^Em7 he was born aga^Cin^A You might say h^De found a key for every d^Em7oor ^{G A}

When he firs^Dt came to the mountains, his life was ^Em7far awa^Cy ^A On the road^D and hangin' by a ^Em7song ^{G A} But the ^Dstring's already broken, and he^Em7 doesn't really care^C; ^A It keeps^D changing fast, and it don't la^Em7st for long^{G A}

But the ^GColorado R^Aocky Mountain high^{D D/A} I've ^Gseen it rainin' fi^Are in the sky^{D D/A} The^G shadow from the sta^Ar-light is ^Dsofter than a l^Em7ull ^Dmaj7- a - ^G by Rocky Mountain high,^D Co^Em7lora^Gdo Rocky^A Mountain high^D, C^Em7olorad^Go ^A

He climbed^D cathedral mountains, he sa^Em7w silver clouds belo^Cw;^A he saw ^Deverything as far as you can s^Em7ee ^{G A} And they ^Dsay that he got crazy once, and he ^Em7tried to touch the^C s^Aun; And he^D lost a friend but kept the mem^Em7ory ^{C A}

Now he ^Dwalks in quiet solitude, the^Em7 forests and the stream^Cs;^A seeking ^Dgrace in every step he takes ^{Em7 G A} His sight ^Dhas turned inside himself to^Em7 try and underst^Can^Ad; the se^Drenity of a clear blue mountain ^Em7lake ^{G A}

And the^G Colorado^A Rocky Mountain h^Dig^D/Ah I've ^Gseen it rainin'^A fi^Dre^D/A in the sky ^Gtalk to God and listen to the ^Acas - u^Dal ^Em7 re ^Dmaj7 - p^Gly Rocky Mountain high^D, Colorad^Em7o ^G Rocky ^AMountain hig^Dh, Colorad^Em7o ^{G A}

Now his ^Dlife is full of wonder, but his ^Em7heart still knows some fea^Cr;^A of a ^Dsimple thing he cannot compr^Em7ehend ^{G A} Why they ^Dtry to tear the mountains down, To ^Em7bring in a couple mo^Cre^A; more ^Dpeople, more scars upon the land^{Em7 G A} And the ^GColorado R^Aocky Mountain hi^Dgh^D/A I've s^Geen it raining fire ^Ain the^D s^D/Aky I ^Gknow he'd be a p^Aoorer man if h^De never saw a^EM7n ea^Dmaj7 - g^Gle fly Rocky Mountain high,^D Colorado ^{Em7 G A}
