He was born in the sum-mer
-4 -4 -4 -3 -3 3* -2*
of his twen-ty sev-enth year,
-4 -4 -4 -4 -4 -4 -4 -3 3*
com-in’ home to a place he’d nev-er

been be-fore.
-4 -4 -4 -4 -4 5* 6 5*
He left yes-ter-day be-hind him,
-4 -4 -4 -3 -3 -3 3* -2*
you might say he was born a-gain.

-4 -4 -4 -3 -3 3* -2*

I’ve seen it rain-in’ fire in the sky.

5* 6 5* -3 -4 4* 4*4*-4 -4 -4
Rock-y Moun-tain High, Rock-y Moun-tain High.
