Colorado Christmas Chords

   
C                                        Dm
Looking out the window of this hollywood hotel,
G                                     C
Youd never know that it was christmas eve.
C                                             Dm
The billboards and the neon took the place of silver bells,
G                         C
And the temperature is 84 degrees.
Am                            Em
I can hear the traffic on the crowded strip below
Am                                           Em
As the palm trees poke their heads above the scene
C                                          Dm
Theres not a single reindeer and it hardly ever snows,
     G                         C
And santa drives a rolls royce limosine.

Am                                Em
But all along the rockies you can feel it in the air
Am                             Em
From telluride to boulder down below
C                                          Dm
The closest thing to heaven on this planet anywhere
G                                            C
Is a quiet christmas morning in the colorado snow

C                                       Dm
I remember christmases when I was just a boy
G                                     C
In the morning I would run to see the tree.
C                                           Dm
And the carolers on the hillside sang their songs of christmas joy
G                                           C
Well, I always thought they sang them just for me.
Am                            Em
Now the sun is setting in the california sky
Am                         Em
And I cant find the spirit anywhere
C                                        Dm
So I think its time for me to tell los angeles goodbye
G                                      C
Im going back home toook for christmas there

Am                                Em
But all along the rockies you can feel it in the air
Am                             Em
From telluride to boulder down below
C                                          Dm
The closest thing to heaven on this planet anywhere
G                                            C
Is a quiet christmas morning in the colorado snow
