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

C

When he first came to the mountains, his life was far away;
D
Em
G
On the road and hanging by a song
D
Em
C
A
But the string's already broken, and he doesn't really care;
D
Em
G
A
It keeps changing fast, and it don't last for long
G
A
D
But the Colorado Rocky Mountain high
G
A
D
I've seen it raining fire in the sky

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

talk to God and listen to the casual re ply

D
Now his life is full of wonder,
Em
C
A
but his heart still knows some fear;
D
Em
C
G
of a simple thing he cannot comprehend
D
Why they try to tear the mountains down,
Em
C
A
To bring in a couple more;
D
Em
C
G
more people, more scars upon the land
G
A
D
And the Colorado Rocky Mountain high
G
A
D
I've seen it raining fire in the sky

I know he'd be a poorer man if he never saw an eag le fly
