The Rocky Mountains

G                                       F
When I take the road, very early in the morning,
            C                         G
I have the route drawn. clear and  meticulously
G                                       F
After a long time, running fast on two wheels
       C
Under sun and rain
               G
it emerges on landscape
F            C              G
It rises sovereign in the firmament
F            C                   G
It seems to want to welcome me like a son
F                       C               G
I do not know where it starts, or where it ends
F            C          D
It knows I'm here to admire it.
     G            F
For God, all my reverence,
        C                   G
All my prayer for the Rocky Mountains,
   G                   F
I thank God for its grandeur,
         C                 G
And its nature, the Rocky Mountains
    G                    F
I have eyes to gloat and see,
        C              G
In ecstasy, The Rocky Mountains
    G                      F
My soul rejoices how the green
     C                     G
it is seen on The rocky Mountains
G                                  F
I am open-mouthed for that amazing enormity.
              C                G
So Wonderful place Blessed by God
                                  F
I will tell my children and grandchildren
            C
I had been here
           G
I always I will be back
F             C                     G
Since it emerged with the Laramide Orogeny
F                C           G
Time and nature carved it masterfully
F                  C         G
Long ago, it was a huge ocean
F                C          D
Full of exotic fishes and ammonites
