Bm   A      G     D
Colorado, I need healing
          Bm     A    G    A
From this sorrow I've been feeling


[Verse 1]
G       A   Bm         G       D
Give me old souls with healing hands
    G    A     Bm         Em         A
The misunderstood, surely they will understand
           G       D                G      D
It takes a goddess touch to touch a godless man
Em  G                A
And get him back to believing


G       A   Bm         G       D
Give me a small-town mayor who should be dead
    G    A     Bm         Em         A
But, he trades in old guitars and art instead
           G       D                G      D
Well, he brought the fish and I brought the bread
Em  G                A
And he says, miracles still happen


[Chorus]
     Bm   A      G     D
Colorado, I need healing
          Bm     A    G    A
From this sorrow I've been feeling

[Verse 2]
G       A   Bm         G       D
Coyote walks through the light of day
    G    A     Bm         Em         A
He hides behind a rock like he had plans to stay
           G       D                G      D
And I never did know just what he meant to say
Em  G                A
But I can tell you, I was listening


G       A   Bm         G       D
And there was Pedro with his cigarette sleeves
    G    A     Bm         Em         A
Full of Friday pay and rattlesnake dreams
           G       D                G      D
He shared his Marlboros and I shared my cheese
Em  G                A
His steady eyes were glistening


G       A   Bm         G       D
And I heard an uplifting sound in a downtown park
    G    A     Bm         Em         A
Playing his own tunes on an Irish harp
           G       D                G      D
And he played with just one hand as the August sky grew dark
Em  G                A
The other hand was for a lover


[Chorus]
     Bm   A      G     D
Colorado, I need healing
          Bm     A         G  A D
From this sorrow I've been feeling


[Bridge 1]
D
I need your ancient winds to dry these tears
D                                 G  A D
I need your silver lakes to be my mirrors

[Instrumental]
D A Bm A G
D A G

[Bridge 2]
D
I closed my eyes and met this song
D
And the whole damn state of Colorado sang along
D
And I knew right then that somewhere I belonged
    Em                     A
But hey, I know I was only dreaming


[Verse 3]
             G    A    Bm       G       D
So I'm gonna take what little's left of me
    G    A     Bm         Em         A
Strap me in a plane eastbound for Tennossee
           G       D                G      D
Cause a man can only take so much being free
Em  G                A
And then he starts to charging


[Chorus]
     Bm   A      G     D
Colorado, I need healing
          Bm     D         G    D
From this sorrow I've been feeling


[Bridge 3]
       G          D        G         D
I need Chautauqua winds to dry these tears
            G      D        Em    A
I need your silver lakes to be my mirrors
        Bm      A       G         D
So that I might see the fool I've been
          Bm    A      G     A
And maybe I can then begin again
G         Em    D
Colorado, Colorado
