Looking out the window of this hollywood hotel,
G5                                     C5
Youd never know that it was christmas eve.
C5                                             D5
The billboards and the neon took the place of silver bells,
G5                         C5
And the temperature is 84 degrees.
A5                            E5
I can hear the traffic on the crowded strip below
A5                                           E5
As the palm trees poke their heads above the scene
C5                                          D5
Theres not a single reindeer and it hardly ever snows,
     G5                         C5
And santa drives a rolls royce limosine.

A5                                E5
But all along the rockies you can feel it in the air
A5                             E5
From telluride to boulder down below
C5                                          D5
The closest thing to heaven on this planet anywhere
G5                                            C5
Is a quiet christmas morning in the colorado snow


C5                                       D5
I remember christmases when I was just a boy
G5                                     C5
In the morning I would run to see the tree.
C5                                           D5
And the carolers on the hillside sang their songs of christmas joy
G5                                           C5
Well, I always thought they sang them just for me.
A5                            E5
Now the sun is setting in the california sky
A5                         E5
And I cant find the spirit anywhere
C5                                        D5
So I think its time for me to tell los angeles goodbye
G5                                      C5
Im going back home toook for christmas there

A5                                E5
But all along the rockies you can feel it in the air
A5                             E5
From telluride to boulder down below
C5                                          D5
The closest thing to heaven on this planet anywhere
G5                                            C5
Is a quiet christmas morning in the colorado snow
