by the Nitty Gritty Dirt Band

 C                                        Dm
Looking out the window of this Hollywood hotel,
       G                                C
You'd 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.
 Dm                            G
I can hear the traffic on the crowded strip below
        Dm                                    G
As the palm trees poke their heads above the scene
         C                                        Dm
There's not a single reindeer and it hardly ever snows,
     G                              C
And Santa drives a Rolls Royce limosine.

     Bb            F               C
But all along the Rockies you can feel it in the air
      Bb           F            G
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.
 Dm                            G
Now the sun is setting in the California sky
     Dm                         G
And I can't find the spirit anywhere
      C                                            Dm
So I think its time for me to tell Los Angeles goodbye
    G                                     C
I'm going back home to look for Christmas there

     Bb            F               C
But all along the Rockies you can feel it in the air
      Bb           F            G
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
