Verse 1
He was
E
born in the summer, of his
F#m
twenty
D
seventh
B
year;
Coming
E
home to a place, he'd never
F#m
been
A
before
He
E
left yesterday behind him, you might
F#m
say he was
D
born
B
again
You might
E
say he found a key, for
F#m
every
A
door
When he
E
first came to the mountains, his
F#m
life was
D
far
B
away;
On the
E
road and hanging
F#m
by a
A
song, But the
E
string's already broken,
and he
F#m
doesn't
D
really
B
care; It keeps
E
changing fast,
and it don't
F#m
last for
A
long
B
,
But the
A
Colorado
B
Rocky Mountain
E
high
I've
A
seen it raining
B
fire in the
E
sky, The
A
shadow from the
B
starlight is
E
softer than a
A
lul

,
He
E
climbed cathedral mountains,
he saw
F#m
silver
D
clouds
B
below;
he saw
E
everything as far as
F#m
you can
A
see
And they
E
say that he got crazy once, and he
F#m
tried to
D
touch the
B
sun;
And he
E
lost a friend, but
F#m
kept the
D
..
A
memory
Now he
E
walks in quiet solitude, the
F#m
forests
D
and the
B
streams;
seeking
E
grace in every
F#m
step he
A
takes
His
E
sight has turned inside himself, to
F#m
try and
D
B
understand;
the
E
serenity of a,
F#m
clear blue
D
mountain
A
lake
And the
A
Colorado
B
Rocky Mountain
E
high
I've
A
seen it raining
B
fire in the
E
sky,
A
talk to God and

Now his
E
life is full of wonder,
but his
F#m
heart still
D
knows some
B
fear;
of a
E
simple thing he
F#m
cannot
D
A
comprehend
Why they
E
try to tear the mountains down, To
F#m
bring in a
D
couple
B
more;
more
E
people, more
F#m
scars
D
upon the
A
land
And the
A
Colorado
B
Rocky Mountain
E
high
I've
A
seen it raining
B
fire in the
E
sky, I
A
know he'd be a
B
poorer man
if he

never saw an
