Colorado Christmas Nitty Gritty Dirt Band
[C]Looking out the window of this hollywood [Dm]hotel,
[G]Youd never know that it was christmas [C]eve.
[C]The billboards and the neon took the place of [Dm]silver bells,
[G]And the temperature is 84 [C]degrees.
[Am]I can hear the traffic on the [Em]crowded strip below
[Am]As the palm trees poke their heads above the [Em]scene
[C]Theres not a single reindeer and it hardly [Dm]ever snows,
And s[G]anta drives a rolls royce [C]limosine.
[Am]But all along the rockies you can [Em]feel it in the air
[Am]From telluride to boulder down [Em]below
[C]The closest thing to heaven on this planet [Dm]anywhere
[G]Is a quiet christmas morning in the colorado [C]snow
[C]I remember christmases when I was just a[Dm] boy
[G]In the morning I would run to see the [C]tree.
[C]And the carolers on the hillside sang their [Dm]songs of christmas joy
[G]Well, I always thought they sang them just f[C]or me.
[Am]Now the sun is setting in the [Em]california sky
[Am]And I cant find the spirit [Em]anywhere
[C]So I think its time for me to tell los an[Dm]geles goodbye
[G]Im going back home toook for christmas [C]there
[Am]But all along the rockies you can [Em]feel it in the air
[Am]From telluride to boulder down [Em]below
[C]The closest thing to heaven on this planet [Dm]anywhere
[G]Is a quiet christmas morning in the colorado [C]snow
