  S1:
  He was born in the summer of his twentyseventh year  

  Coming home to a place he'd never been before  

  He left yesterday behind him, you might say he was born again  

  You might say he found a key for every door

  S2:
  When he first came to the mountains his life was far away  

  On the road and hanging by a song  

  But the string's already broken and he doesn't really care  

  It keeps changing fast and it don't last for long
• AHAHEEAHEAEF♯miAHEF♯miHA
  R1:
  But the Colorado rocky mountain high 

  I've seen it rainin' fire in the sky 

  The shadow from the starlight 

  Is softer than a lullabye 

  Rocky mountain high (Colorado) 

  Rocky mountain high (Colorado)

  S3:
  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 the memory
• EF♯miDHEF♯miAHEF♯miDHEF♯miHA
  S4:
  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

  R2:
  But the Colorado rocky mountain high 

  I've seen it rainin' fire in the sky 

  Talk to God 

  And listen to the casual reply 

  Rocky mountain high (Colorado) 

  Rocky mountain high (Colorado)

  S5:
  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

  R3:
  The Colorado rocky mountain high 

  I've seen it rainin' fire in the sky 

  I know he'd be a poor man 

  If he never saw an eagle fly 

  Rocky mountain high

  R3:
  The Colorado rocky mountain high 

  I've seen it rainin' fire in the sky 

  Friends around the campfire 

  And everybody's high 

  Rocky mountain high (Colorado) 

  Rocky mountain high (Colorado) 

  Rocky mountain high (Colorado) 

  Rocky mountain high (Colorado) 

  Rocky mountain high (Colorado) 

  Rocky mountain high (Colorado) 

  Rocky mountain high
