Rocky Mountain High

These are lyrics to our parody of John Denver’s Rocky Mountain High performed at the conference. It really tells the story of Marie Dotts bringing the Chi to Colorado.

Chi was born in the summer of nineteen seventy four

Coming home to a place it’d never been before

It left our worries behind us, you might say it softened some

You might say it found love at every door…

When it first came to the mountains, its essence was far away

In the air… just waiting to come down

The tan t’ien is ready… for the Chi to settle there

But it keeps circulating… throughout the town.

Yes, the Colorado Rocky Mountain high

We’ve seen the Chi up high in the sky

Its shadow from the starlight… is softer than a lullabye…

Rocky mountain high… – Colorado

Rocky mountain high… – Colorado.

Chi climbed cathedral mountains, and saw many friends below

It welcomed all willing to receive…

And they say that it got crazy once and it tried to reach us all

In Boulder… it finally did succeed.

It walks in quiet solitude… the forest and the streams

Seeking grace… in every step it takes

The Chi has turned inside of us to try and understand

The serenity… of a clear blue mountain lake.

And the Colorado Rocky Mountain high

We’ve seen the Chi up in high the sky

You can chat with friends [fast] and listen to the wisdom in their reply

Rocky Mountain high… – Colorado

Rocky mountain high… – Colorado.

Now our lives are full of softness and our hearts are letting go

Our hope is for peace around the world

We know you feel the Chi and wish to share it some more

With friends and strangers across the land.

And the Colorado Rocky Mountain high

We’ve seen the Chi up high in the sky

We’re glad you’ve made this journey… to share with us some time…

Rocky Mountain high [do not draw out so long NO Colorado]

It’s a Colorado Rocky Mountain “Hi”

We’ve seen the Chi up high in the sky

Friends around the Chi circle and everybody’s high…

Rocky mountain high… – Colorado

Rocky mountain high… [hold up sign and shout “Welcome to”] – Colorado

Rocky mountain high… [hold up sign and shout “Glad you’re here”] – Colorado

Rocky mountain high… [hold up sign and shout “Have some fun”] – Colorado

Rocky mountain high… [hold up sign and shout “Make new friends”] – Colorado Rocky mountain high… [hold up sign and shout “Welcome to”] – Colorado
