Rocky Mountain High chords
John Denver
Capo II
D Em G A 2x
[A7]He was [D]born in the summer, of his [Em]twenty [C]seventh [A]year;
Coming [D]home to a place he'd [Em]never [C]been be[A]fore
He [D]left yesterday behind him,
you might say [Em]he was [C]born a[A]gain
You might [D]say he found a [Em]key for [C]every [A]door
When he [D]first came to the mountains, his [Em]life was [C]far a[A]way;
On the [D]road and [Em]hanging [C]by a [A]song
But the [D]string's already broken, and he [Em]doesn't [C]really [A]care;
It keeps [D]changing fast, and [Em]it don't [C]last for [A]long
But the [G]Colorado [A]Rocky Mountain [D]high
I've [G]seen it raining [A]fire in the [D]sky
The [G]shadow from the [A]starlight is [D]softer than a [A]lulla[G]by
Rocky [A]Mountain [D]high[Em], Colo[G]rado
Rocky [A]Mountain [D]high[Em], Colo[G]rado[A7]
He [D]climbed cathedral mountains, he saw [Em]silver [C]clouds be[A]low;
he saw [D]everything as [Em]far as [C]you can [A]see
And they [D]say that he got crazy once,
and he [Em]tried to [C]touch the [A]sun;
And he [D]lost a friend but [Em]kept [C]the memo[A]ry
( Tab from: http://www.guitartabs.cc/tabs/j/john_denver/rocky_mountain_high_crd.html )
Now he [D]walks in quiet solitude, the [Em]forests [C]and the [A]streams;
seeking [D]grace in [Em]every [C]step he [A]takes
His [D]sight has turned inside himself to [Em]try and [C]under[A]stand;
the [D]serenity of a [Em]clear blue [C]mountain [A]lake
And the [G]Colorado [A]Rocky Mountain [D]high
I've [G]seen it raining [A]fire in the [D]sky
[G]talk to God and [A]listen to the [D]casual [A]re[G]ply
Rocky [A]Mountain [D]high[Em], Colo[G]rado
Rocky [A]Mountain [D]high[Em], Colo[G]rado[A7]
Now his [D]life is full of wonder,
but his [Em]heart still [C]knows some [A]fear;
of a [D]simple thing [Em]he cannot [C]compre[A]hend
[D]Why they try to tear the mountains down,
To [Em]bring in a [C]couple [A]more;
more [D]people, more [Em]scars u[C]pon the [A]land
And the [G]Colorado [A]Rocky Mountain [D]high
I've [G]seen it raining [A]fire in the [D]sky
[G]I know he'd be a [A]poorer man if he [D]never saw an [A]eagle [G]fly
Rocky [A]Mountain [D]high[Em], Colo[G]rado
Rocky [A]Mountain [D]high[Em], Colo[G]rado[A7]
And the [G]Colorado [A]Rocky Mountain [D]high
I've [G]seen it raining [A]fire in the [D]sky
[G]Friends around the [A]campfire and [D]every[A]body's [G]high
Rocky [A]Mountain [D]high[Em], Colo[G]rado
Rocky [A]Mountain [D]high[Em], Colo[G]rado[A7]
