C Dm Looking out the window of this hollywood hotel, G C Youd never know that it was christmas eve. C Dm The billboards and the neon took the place of silver bells, G C And the temperature is 84 degrees. Am Em I can hear the traffic on the crowded strip below Am Em As the palm trees poke their heads above the scene C Dm Theres not a single reindeer and it hardly ever snows, G C And santa drives a rolls royce limosine. Am Em But all along the rockies you can feel it in the air Am Em From telluride to boulder down below C Dm The closest thing to heaven on this planet anywhere G C Is a quiet christmas morning in the colorado snow C Dm I remember christmases when I was just a boy G C In the morning I would run to see the tree. C Dm And the carolers on the hillside sang their songs of christmas joy G C Well, I always thought they sang them just for me. Am Em Now the sun is setting in the california sky Am Em And I cant find the spirit anywhere C Dm So I think its time for me to tell los angeles goodbye G C Im going back home toook for christmas there Am Em But all along the rockies you can feel it in the air Am Em From telluride to boulder down below C Dm The closest thing to heaven on this planet anywhere G C Is a quiet christmas morning in the colorado snow
