Tuning: G C E A
[Verse 1]
He was Cborn in the summer of his F27th Gyear
Comin' Chome to a place he'd never Fbeen before
He left Cyesterday beAmhind him, you might Fsay he was born aGgain
You might Csay he found a key for every Fdoor
When he Cfirst came to the mountains his Flife was far aGway
On the Croad and hangin' by a Fsong
But the Cstring's already Ambroken and he Fdoesn't really Gcare
It keeps Cchangin' fast and it don't last for Flong
[Chorus 1]
FBut the Colorado Grocky mountain hiCgh
I've Fseen it rainin' Gfire in the Csky
FThe shadows from the Gstarlight are Csofter than a lullaFby
Rocky mountain Chigh
(ColoFrado)
Rocky mountain Chigh
(High in ColoFrado)
[Verse 2]
He Cclimbed cathedral mountains, he saw Fsilver clouds beGlow
He saw Ceverything as far as you can Fsee
And they Csay that he got Amcrazy once and he Ftried to touch the Gsun
And he Clost a friend but kept the memFory
Now he Cwalks in quiet solitude the Fforest and the Gstreams
Seeking Cgrace in every step he Ftakes
His Csight has turned Aminside himself to Ftry and underGstand
The Cserenity of a clear blue mountain Flake
{Chorus 2]
FAnd the Colorado Grocky mountain hiCgh
I've Fseen it rainin' Gfire in the Csky
FTalk to God and Glisten to the Ccasual repFly
Rocky mountain Chigh
(high in ColoFrado)
Rocky mountain Chigh
(high in ColoFrado)
[Verse 3]
Now his Clife is full of wonder but his Fheart still knows some Gfear
Of a Csimple thing he cannot compreFhend
Why they Ctry to tear the Ammountains down to Fbring in a couple Gmore
More Cpeople, more scars upon the Fland
[Chorus 3]
FAnd the Colorado Grocky mountain hiCgh
I've Fseen it rainin' Gfire in the Csky
I Fknow he'd be a Gpoorer man if he Cnever saw an eagle Ffly
Rocky mountain Chigh
[Coda]
It's a FColorado Grocky mountain hiCgh
I've Fseen it rain Gfire in the Csky
FFriends around the Gcampfire and Ceverybody's Fhigh
Rocky mountain Chigh
(high in ColoFrado)
Rocky mountain Chigh
(high in ColoFrado)
Rocky mountain Chigh
(high in ColoFrado)
