Hey Colorado  it was not so long ago
G D         Em        G7 C               G  G7
I left your mountains to try life on the road
        C                  G
Now I'm finished with that race
G7      C               G   G7
it  was much too fast a pace
       C               G G7
And I think I know my place
   C                   G
Colorado I wanna  come home

G     D     Em    G7    C            G      D
There was a woman but I left her far behind 
G  D         Em    G7       C            G   G7
I could have loved her if I only had the time
      C                 G G7
But I stopped along the way
     C              G   G7
just long enough to say 
         C                     G G7
Lord I'd really really like to stay
       C                      G D
But my lady knows I've got to go
Em D
   
Em D   C   G      Em        D    C     G
I  was too young  to   know what I've done
Em D   C  G               F     D7
I made my plans but I was wrong yes I was wrong
G    D    Em G7         C                 G         D
Hey Colorado  is it too late to change my mind      
G    D         Em       G7      C              G   G7
I've done some thinking and I'm trying hard to find
C                     G
The way to come back home
G7

        C                 G
Oh I've been so very long alone
G7

          C                 G

G7    C                     G
Colorado I think I'm coming home
