Rocky Mountain High - John Denver

(VERSE)
       D                         G              A
He was born in the summer of his twenty seventh year
       D                          G          G A
comin' home to a place he'd never been before
        D                              G               A
he left yesterday behind him you might say he was born again
          D                            Em     G A
you might say he found a key for every door

When he first came to the mountains his life was far away
on a road and hangin' by a song
but the strings already broken and he doesn't really care
it keeps changin' fast but it don't last for long

(CHORAS)
        G        A              D
But the colarodo rocky mountain high...
     G               A           D (G D)
I've seen it rainin' fire in the sky
 G              A            D             G A (something, like a G)
Shadow from the starlight is softer than a lullabye
               D      G          G     A        D    Em         G A

(VERSE)
He climbed cathedral mountains, he saw silver clouds below
he say everything as far as you can see
and the say that he got crazy once, and he tried to touch the sun
and he lost a friend but kept his memory

Now he walks in quiet solitude the forests and the streams
seaking grace in every step he takes
His sight has turned inside himself to try and understand
the serenety of a clear blue mountain lake

(CHORAS)
And it's a colorodo rocky mountain high..
I've seen it rainin' fire in the sky
you can talk to god and listen to the casual reply
friends around the campfire, everybodies high... 
rocky mountain high (colorado) rocky mountain high (colorado)

(VERSE)
Now his life is full of wonder, but his heart still knows some fear
Of a simple thing he cannot understand
why they try to tear the mountains down to bring in a couple more
more people, more scars apon the land

(CHORAS)
And the colarodo rocky mountain high...
I've seen it rain a fire in the sky
I know he'd be a poorer man if he never saw an eagle fly
rocky mountain high (colorado) rocky mountain high (colorado)

It's a colorod rocky mountain high
I've seen it rainin' fire in the sky
Friends around the campfire and everybody's high
rocky mountain high (colorado) rocky mountain high (colorado)
rocky mountain high (colorado) rocky mountain high do de do
