D                         A
When I was nineteen I threw my stuff in the car
       G                           D
Headed up to the Rockies, to get a job at this bar
             D                   A
Selling beer to the locals, just barely getting by
       Em                               A
On the tips from the rich kids, they?re owin? daddy's dime
Bm           G
But from the moment she walked in one night
Bm         G            A
I knew I'd be all right in

[Chorus]
     D            F#m/C#
Tel- luride, it?s snow falling down
Bm                      G
I was waking up in that sleepy little town
D              F#m/C#
In her eyes my world came so alive
  Bm                    G
I never will forget the moment she arrived
   D         A Bm G
In Telluride

   D                               A
We spent that whole winter tangled up by a fire
      G                              D
Cast- ing shadows on the cabin wall, drowning in desire
     D                           A
Con- fessing all our secrets and laughing out loud
   Em                                       A
So high up on that mountain, I thought we'd never come down
Bm       G
It was a dream we were living in
Bm            G                 A
And I was the happiest I'd ever been

[Chorus]
D               F#m/C#
Telluride, it?s snow falling down
Bm                         G
Waking up with her in that sleepy little town
D               F#m/C#
In her eyes, my world came so alive
  Bm                    G
I never will forget all those sleepless nights
   D          A     Bm         G     A
In Telluride, whoa- oh, yeah- yeah,

   A          Bm     G     A
It ended just like a movie scene
    A        Bm       G
And I had to play the part
       A         Bm              G
Of the lover who stood there and watched her leave
Em                 A
me with the frozen heart

[Chorus]
   D              F#m/C#
In Telluride, the snow falling down
Bm                           G
Standing there alone in that sleepy little town
D               F#m/C#
In her eyes, my world came so alive
  Bm                    G
I never will forget the day she said goodbye

D              F#m/C#
Telluride, the snow falling down
Bm                               G
I was waking up with her in that sleepy little town
D               F#m/C#
In her eyes, my world came so alive
  Bm                    G
I never will forget all those sleepless nights
   D         A Bm G
In Telluride
              D A Bm G
Oh, Telluride
