Текст песни John Denver — Colorado Rocky mountain high

D Em G 2x

A7

D Em C A
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 Em C A
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 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
G A D A G
The shadow from the starlight is softer than a lullaby
A D Em G
Rocky Mountain high, Colorado
A D Em G A7
Rocky Mountain high, Colorado

D Em C A
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 A
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 A D A G
talk to God and listen to the casual reply
A D Em G
Rocky Mountain high, Colorado
A D Em G A7
Rocky Mountain high, Colorado

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
G A D A G
I know he'd be a poorer man if he never saw an eagle fly
A D
Rocky Mountain high

G A D
And the Colorado Rocky Mountain high
G A D
I've seen it raining fire in the sky
G A D G
Friends around the campfire and everybody's high
A D Em G
Rocky Mountain high, Colorado
A D Em G
Rocky Mountain high, Colorado
A D Em G
Rocky Mountain high, Colorado
A D Em G
Rocky Mountain high, Colorado . . .
