I've looked everywhere for this song and can't find it, so I finally gave up and figured it out myself. She usually plays it on piano, so I figured it out that way first and then tried it on guitar to see if it still sounded OK. I think it works. If I missed something, please let me know. Capo I C G F C Colorado, Colorado C F C F When the world leaves you shivering F G And the blizzard blows C G F C When the snow flies and the night falls Am There's a light in the window F G And a place called home F Am At the end of the storm Am One night on the mountain I was headed for Estes F G When the roads turned to ice and it started to snow Am Put on the chains in a whirl of white powder F G Halfway up to Berthoud near a diner I know C And the light burned inside, shining down through the snowfall G F G God, it was cold, and the temperature droppin' C Went in for coffee and I shivered as I drank it G F Warming my hands in the steam as it rose Am Sitting there at the counter was a dark-headed stranger Am F G Me and the owner and him keeping warm Am Nodded hello and I said, "It's a cold one. Am F G Looks like there might be a blizzard tonight," C And "Yes," said the owner, "There's a big storm on the mountain. G F G Good thing we're open; we could be here for hours. C There's nothing for miles, and it's too late to get to Denver. G F G Better not try for the summit tonight." C G And the snow fell F C And the night passed C F Am And I talked to the strangers Am F G Am As the blizzard blew Am Me and the stranger, you know I don't talk to strangers F G I'm a private sort of person, but a blizzard is a blizzard Am And somehow I found myself saying you'd left me F G Telling him everything I wanted to say to you. C You know how it is when you can talk to a stranger G F G Someone you're quite sure you'll never see again C Soon we were talkin' and laughin' and drinkin'. G F G He said, "You must know you're too good for him." C G And the snow fell F C And the night passed C F Am And I talked to the strangers Am F G Am And the blizzard blew Am The stranger said, "Love, it can cry you a river. Am F G Me, I'm a loner, 'cause I can't take the heartache. Am Sometimes I'm a fighter when I get too much whiskey. Am F G Here, have a little whiskey; pretend you don't give a damn. C My cabin's up here on the side of the mountain. G F G You can go up there and sleep through the blizzard." C I put on my parka, said goodbye to the owner, G F C Followed the stranger through the snow up the mountainside. Am Woke in the morning to the sun on the snow Am F G My car was buried in six feet of snowdrift Am They dug me out, just the owner and the stranger Am F G Sent me on my way when the snowplow had been by C And the roads were all clear, and the sun on the mountains G F G Sparkled like diamonds on the Peak-to-Peak Highway C Then I knew that I would get over you Dm G C Knew you could leave me, but you'd never break me C G F C Colorado, Colorado C F C F When the world leaves you shivering G And the blizzard blows C G F C When the snow flies and the night falls F There's a light in the window Dm G And a place called home F C At the end of the storm
