National Lampoon - Colorado

      [Intro]
C C/B C/A C/G F G C

[Verse 1]
    C        C/B      C/A     C/G     F      G        C
I'm stuck in this old city now, where living ain't no fun
      C         C/B       C/A      C/G    D/F#             G
Where steel and glass and concrete cancel out the wind and sun
        F                G                C                 F
And I'm thinking of last winter now, when we walked hand in hand
       C             F   G    C
In the trails of the Colorado Rockies

[Verse 2]
    C         C/B  C/A  C/G     F        G        C
The wind sang us a lullaby, the snow was thick as cream
    C  C/B       C/A   C/G        D/F#          G
And icicles were chandeliers like crystals in a dream
        F                      G                 C                    F
And the streams were strips of diamonds, and the fields were white as snow
      C                F        G      C     C7
And a bear ate all our soybeans in the night

[Chorus]
F       G              C
Oh, Colorado's calling me
         F                 G               C             E
From her hillsides and her rivers, and her mesas and her trees
     F                  G                C               F
When blizzards snap the power lines, and all the toilets freeze
     C             F   G    C
In December in the Colorado Rockies

[Verse 3]
       C        C/B       C/A    C/G      F        G        C
We had time and space and freedom, we had love and peace to spare
       C      C/B    C/A       C/G       D/F#            G
Though we ran out of things to smoke and say and eat and wear
        F              G              C              F
And the morning of the avalanche, the yeti kidnapped Blanche
       C               F       G      C
And he took her to his cave up in the Rockies

[Chorus]
F       G              C
Oh, Colorado's calling me
         F                G                C             E
From her glaciers and her canyons, and her badlands and ravines
    F              G         C                F
And infectious hepatitis was all that came to stay
       C          F   G    C
In January in the Colorado Rockies

[Verse 4]
    C    C/B    C/A   C/G    F         G       C
The baby didn't die until we burned up all our wood
   C    C/B    C/A     C/G      D/F#          G
Considering we ate her raw, she tasted pretty good
        F                G               C                 F
And the facsist health inspectors dug us out and mailed us home
  C                     F        G         C
Except for Blanche, who wouldn't leave her mate

[Chorus]
F       G              C
Oh, Colorado's calling me
         F                 G               C               E
From her mountains and her rivers, and her meadows and her trees
     F               G                      C          F
They tell me I'll be cured soon, thawed and ready to return
          C            F   G    C
When it's April in the Colorado Rockies
