[Verse 1]
D Em
She came from the mountains
A D
Rocky Mountains eagle-high
Em
She's from where the mountains
A D
lean up to the sky
Em
Now she's back among the Rockies
A D
where mountain thunders cry
Em
Now the wind from off the mountains
A D
wails a sad goodbye
D Em
Once in Colorado Springs at
A D
the foot of old Pike's Peak
Em
I met a Rocky Mountain girl
A D
to my soul her heart let speak
Em
We went to tell her parents
A D
and an old grandmother said
Em A
If you'll leave these mountains girl
D
you'll wish that you were dead
D Em
The next day I took her with me
A D
to my far-off Iowa home
Em
Way out on the flatlands where
A D
the mountain winds don't moan
Em
Each footstep we took was happy
A D
or at least it shoudn't been
Em
But I would find her listening for
A D
that same lone mountain wind

[Chorus] D Em She came from the mountains A D Rocky Mountains eagle-high Em She's from where the mountains A D lean up to the sky Em Now she's back among the Rockies A D where mountain thunders cry Em Now the wind from off the mountains A D wails a sad goodbye [Verse 2] D Em Months passed as fast as antelopes A D until one fatal dismal dawn Em I walked to see morning sun shine A D down on where she was gone Em I'd known that lately she'd been A D sad women sometimes get that way Em I hadn't guessed how much was A D wrong until that fatal day D Em She had left the weeping letter A D homesick with mountain names Em She was somewhere in the Rockies A D and I knew I'd been to blame Em So now in Colorado Springs I A D wait near old Pike's Peak Em Where once I met a mountain A D girl that mountain girl I seek
