[Verse 1]
D Em A D She came from the mountains Rocky Mountains eagle-high Em A D She's from where the mountains lean up to the sky Em A D Now she's back among the Rockies where mountain thunders cry Em A D Now the wind from off the mountains wails a sad goodbye D Em A D Once in Colorado Springs at the foot of old Pike's Peak Em A D I met a Rocky Mountain girl to my soul her heart let speak Em A D We went to tell her parents and an old grandmother said Em A D If you'll leave these mountains girl you'll wish that you were dead D Em A D The next day I took her with me to my far-off Iowa home Em A D Way out on the flatlands where the mountain winds don't moan Em A D Each footstep we took was happy or at least it shoudn't been Em A D But I would find her listening for that same lone mountain wind
[Chorus]
D Em A D She came from the mountains Rocky Mountains eagle-high Em A D She's from where the mountains lean up to the sky Em A D Now she's back among the Rockies where mountain thunders cry Em A D Now the wind from off the mountains wails a sad goodbye
[Verse 2]
D Em A D Months passed as fast as antelopes until one fatal dismal dawn Em A D I walked to see morning sun shine down on where she was gone Em A D I'd known that lately she'd been sad women sometimes get that way Em A D I hadn't guessed how much was wrong until that fatal day D Em A D She had left the weeping letter homesick with mountain names Em A D She was somewhere in the Rockies and I knew I'd been to blame Em A D So now in Colorado Springs I wait near old Pike's Peak Em A D Where once I met a mountain girl that mountain girl I seek
[Chorus]
D Em A D She came from the mountains Rocky Mountains eagle-high Em A D She's from where the mountains lean up to the sky Em A D Now she's back among the Rockies where mountain thunders cry Em A D Now the wind from off the mountains wails a sad goodbye
