       Em            A7    D
It's a long way from LA to Denver
  G            D           G
A long time to hang in the sky
       G        Em      D           Bm
It's a long way home to Starwood in Aspen
   D           G            D
My sweet Rocky Mountain paradise
       G           D        A7  D
Oh, my sweet Rocky Mountain paradise
 
Em            A7             D
Springtime is rollin' 'round slowly
G              D           G
Grey skies are bringin' me down
  G                        Em           D   Bm
I can't remember when I've ever been so lonely
     D             G          D
I forgot what it's like to be home
        G                D       A7 D
Can't remember what it's like to be home
 
  Em          A7           D
I think on my lady's sweet memories
  G           D                G
I think on my children's sweet smiles
  G           Em      D           Bm
I think on my home in Starwood in Aspen
       D               G            D
All my friends and the snow covered hills
       G               D      A7    D
Oh, my friends are the snow covered hills
 
      Em       A7           D
And I tell you I'm happy to be here
   G            D          G
To share and consider this time
      G            Em         D      Bm
For I see here the shadows of changes
      D          G              D
And a feeling of new friends to find
      G             D           A7 D
And I see here some new friends to find
 
           Em            A7            D
But it's a long way from this place to Denver
       G            D           G
It's a long time to hang in the sky
       G        Em      D           Bm
It's a long way home to Starwood in Aspen
   D           G            D
My sweet Rocky Mountain paradise
       G           D        A7  D
Oh, my sweet Rocky Mountain paradise

Thanks! Love this song. I think you nailed the first few verses. The last two verses you switched the second line from G-D-G to D-G-D. I don't think that was intentional.
