Kunci Gitar Nitty Gritty Dirt Band - Colorado Christmas

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
