He was Dborn in the summer of his F#mtwenty-seventh Ayear
Coming Dhome to a place he'd never Embeen Gbefore
He Dleft yesterday behind him
You might Emsay he was Cborn Aagain
You might Dsay he found a key for Emev'ry Gdoor
When he Dfirst came to the mountains his Emlife was Cfar Aaway
On the Droad and hangin' Emby a Gsong
But the Dstring's already broken, and he Emdoesn't Creally Acare
It keeps Dchangin' fast, and it don't Emlast for Along
But the GColorado ARocky Mountain Dhigh
I've Gseen it rainin' Afire in the Dsky
The Gshadow from the Astarlight
Is Dsofter than a lullaby
Rocky AMountain Dhigh
Rocky AMountain Dhigh
He Dclimbed cathedral mountains
He saw Emsilver Cclouds Abelow
He saw Deverything as far as Emyou can Gsee
And they Dsay that he got crazy once
And he Emtried to Ctouch the Asun
And he Dlost a friend but Emkept F#mhis Gmemory
Now he Dwalks in quiet solitude
The Emforests Cand the Astreams
Seeking Dgrace in every Emstep he Gtakes
His Dsight has turned inside
Himself to Emtry and Aunderstand
The serenity Dof a Emclear blue Cmountain Glake
And the GColorado ARocky Mountain Dhigh
I've Gseen it rainin' Afire in the Dsky
You Acan Gtalk to God and Alisten to the Dcasual reply
Rocky AMountain Dhigh
Rocky AMountain Dhigh
Now his Dlife is full of wonder
But his Emheart still Cknows some Afear
Of a Dsimple thing, he Emcannot Gcomprehend
Why they Dtry to tear the mountains down
To Embring in a Ccouple Amore
More Dpeople, more Emscars upon Cthe Gland
And the GColorado ARocky Mountain Dhigh
I've Gseen it rainin' Afire in the Dsky
I Gknow he'd be a Apoor man
If he Dnever saw an eagle Gfly
Rocky AMountain Dhigh
GColorado ARocky Mountain Dhigh
I've Gseen it rainin' Afire in the Dsky
GFriends around the Acampfire
BEverybody's Ghigh
Rocky AMountain Dhigh
Rocky AMountain Dhigh
Rocky AMountain Dhigh
Rocky AMountain Dhigh
APeace Emy friend, thank Ayou
Thank Eyou Avery Emuch
