Comin' (C/G)home to a place he'd never (F)been be(G)fore
He left (C/G)yesterday behind him, you might (F)say he was born (G)again
You might (C/G)say he found a key for (F)every (G)door
When he first came
to the mountains his life was far away
On the road and hangin' by
a song
But the string's already
broken and he doesn't really care
It keeps changin' fast and
it don't last for long
But the (F/G)Colorado (G)rocky
mountain (C)high
I've (F/G)seen
it rainin' (G)fire in the (C)sky
The (F)shadow
from the (G)starlight is (C)softer than a lulla(F)bye
Rocky mountain (C/G)high
He climbed cathedral mountains, he saw
silver clouds below
He saw everything as far
as you can see
And they 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
forest and the streams
Seeking grace in every
step he takes
His sight has turned
inside himself to try and understand
The serenity of a clear
blue mountain lake
And the Colorado rocky mountain high
I've seen it rainin' fire
in the sky
You can talk to God and
listen to the casual reply
Rocky mountain high
Now his life is full of wonder but his
heart still knows some fear
Of a simple thing he
cannot comprehend
Why they try to tear the
mountains down to bring in a couple more
More people, more scars
upon the land
And the Colorado rocky mountain high
I've seen it rainin' fire
in the sky
I know he'd be a poorer
man if he never saw an eagle fly
Rocky mountain high
It's Colorado rocky mountain high
I've seen it rainin' fire
in the sky
Friends around the
campfire and everybody's high
Rocky mountain high
