Nitty Gritty Dirt Band - Colorado christmas

^CLooking out the window of this Hollywood ^Dmhotel, You'd ^Gnever know that it was Christmas ^CEve. The ^Cbillboards and the neon took the place of silver ^Dmbells, And the ^Gtemperature is 84 de^Cgrees. ^DmI can hear the traffic on the ^Gcrowded strip below As the ^Dmpalm trees poke their heads above the ^Gscene There's ^Cnot a single reindeer and it hardly ever ^Dmsnows, And ^GSanta drives a Rolls Royce limo^Csine.

But ^Bball along the ^FRockies you can ^Cfeel it in the air From ^BbTelluride to ^FBoulder down ^Gbelow The ^Cclosest thing to Heaven on this ^Dmplanet anywhere Is a ^Gquiet Christmas morning in the Colorado ^Csnow

^CI remember Christmases when I was just a ^Dmboy In the ^Gmorning I would run to see the ^Ctree. And the ^Ccarolers on the hillside sang their songs of Christmas ^Dmjoy Well, I ^Galways thought they sang them just for ^Cme. ^DmNow the sun is setting in the ^GCalifornia sky And ^DmI can't find the spirit any^Gwhere So I ^Cthink its time for me to tell Los Angeles good^Dmbye I'm^G going back home to look for Christmas^C there

But ^Bball along the ^FRockies you can ^Cfeel it in the air From ^BbTelluride to ^Fboulder down ^Gbelow The ^Cclosest thing to Heaven on this ^Dmplanet anywhere Is a ^Gquiet Christmas morning in the Colorado ^Csnow
