Rocky Mountain High    (midi)

                   D                                       Em     G           A

1. He was born in the summer of his twenty-seventh year,

                  D                                           G              - A

    coming home to a place he'd never been before.

                 D                                                 Em              G        A

    He left yesterday behind him, you might say he was born again,

                      D                                               G - A

    you might say he found the key to every door.

                     D                                               Em        G       A

2. When he first came to the mountains,  his life was far away,

                 D                                  G  - A

    on the road and hanging by a song.

                     D                                            Em        G       A

    Well the string`s already broken and he doesn't really care,

           D                                                G - A

    it changes fast and it don't last too 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  ~

    Shadow from the starlight is softer than a lullaby,

                                 D - G - A                              D - G - A

    Rocky Mountain High,          Rocky Mountain High.

                   D          

3. Well he climbed cathedral mountains,

                 Em       G         D

    he saw silver clouds below,

                  D                                           G - A

    he saw everything as far as you can see.

              D                        ^                          Em       G             A

    They say that he got crazy once and he tried to touch the sun,

           D                                              G - A

    he lost a friend but keep the memory.

                    D                                                  Em        G             A

4. Now he walks in quiet solitude through the forests and the streams,

                      D                               G  -  A

    seeking grace in every step he takes.

            D                                                 Em       G        A

    His sight has turned inside himself to try and understand,

               D                                             G -  A

    the serenity of clear blue mountain lakes.

                     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   ~

    Talk to God and listen to the casual reply.

                                 D - G - A                             D - G - A

    Rocky Mountain High,        Rocky Mountain High.

                  D                  

5. Now his life if full of wonder,

                Em           G              A

    but his heart still knows some fear,

                D                                            G  - A

    of the simple things he cannot comprehend.

                   D

    Why they try and tear the mountains down

              Em   G        A              D                                     G   - A

    to bring in a couple more, 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   ~

    You know he'd be a poorer man if he never saw an eagle  fly.

                                D              G            A                        D

    Rocky Mountain high, the Colorado Rocky Mountain high,

             G                   A             D

    I've seen it raining fire in the sky.

        G                          A                   D                   G     ~

    Friends around the campfire and everybody is high.

                                 D - G - A
