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
B
la
A
by,
Rocky
B
Mountain
E
..
F#m
high,
A
Colorado
Rocky
B
Mountain
E
..
F#m
high,
A
Colorado
B7
,
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
B
listen
to
the
E
A
casual
B
re
A
ply,
Rocky
B
Mountain
E
..
F#m
high,
A
Colorado
Rocky
B
Mountain
E
..
F#m
high,
A
Colorado
B7
,
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
E
never
saw an

Rocky

Mountain

And the

I've
