It's no more than D, G and A major chords. It starts on the D chord. The rest y'all find out easily...:-))
The intro is a simple flat-picking scheme on D, too. The trick is hammering your pinkie on fourth fret of the G and D string respectively...
He was born in the summer of his twenty-seventh year
coming home to a place he'd never been before
He left yesterday behind him
you might say he was born again
might say he found a key for every door
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 -
he keeps changing fast, it don't last for long
CHORUS:
The Colorado Rocky Mountain High
I've seen it raining fire in the sky
shadows from a starlight, softer than a lullaby
Rocky mountain high... in Colorado
Rocky mountain high... in Colorado
He climbed the (word?) 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 lane
CHORUS
The Colorado Rocky Mountain High
I've seen it raining fire in the sky
You can talk to God, listen to the casual reply
Rocky mountain high... in Colorado
Rocky mountain high... in Colorado
Now his life is full of wonders 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
CHORUS
The Colorado Rocky Mountain High
I've seen it raining fire in the sky
You know you'd be a poorer man if you never saw an eagle fly
Rocky mountain high... in Colorado
Rocky mountain high... in Colorado
It's the Colorado Rocky Mountain High
I've seen it raining fire in the sky
friends around the campfire and everybody's high
Rocky mountain high... in Colorado
Rocky mountain high... in Colorado
