Henry John Deutschendorf Jr. (December 31, 1943 – October 12, 1997), known professionally as John Denver, was an American musician, singer-songwriter, record producer, activist, actor, and humanitarian, whose greatest commercial success was as a solo singer, starting in the 1970s. He was one of the most popular acoustic artists of the decade and one of its best-selling artists. By 1974, he was firmly established as America's best selling performer, and AllMusic has described Denver as "among the most beloved entertainers of his era".

The following song tells of John Denver's love for flight and it seems fit that his life ended doing what he loved. He will be missed.
Flying For Me John Denver (klr)
Well, [D] I guess that you probably know by now I was [Bm] one who wanted to fly I wanted to [G] ride on that arrow of [A] fire right up into [D] heaven [G] [A] And I [D] wanted to go for every man Every [Bm] child, every mother of children I wanted to [G] carry the dreams of all [A] people right up to the [D] stars [G] [A]
And I [D] prayed that I^?d find an answer there Or [Bm] maybe I^?d find a song Giving a [G] voice to all the [A] hearts that cannot be [D] heard [G] [A] And for [D] all the ones who live in fear And [Bm] all those who stand apart My being [G] there would bring us a [A] little step closer [D] together
They were flying for [G] me They were [A] flying for every [D] one They were trying to [G] see a brighter [A] day for each and evey [D] one They gave us their [G] light They gave us their [A] spirit and all they could [D] be [G] They were [A] flying for [D] me [G] They were [A] flying for [D] me
And I [G] wanted to wish on the [A] Milky Way And [D] dance upon a falling [Bm] star I wanted to [G] give myself and [G/e] free myself and [G] join myself with it [A] all [D] [Bm] [G] [A] [D] Given the [G] chance to dream it [A] can be done The [D] promise of tomorrow is [Bm] real Children of the [G] spaceship earth The [A] future belongs to us [D] all
She was flying for [G] me She was [A] flying for every [D] one She was flying to [G] see a brighter [A] day for each and every [D] one She gave us her [G] light She gave us her [A] spirit and all she can [D] be [G] She was [A] flying for [D] me
They were flying for [G] me They were [A] flying for every [D] one They were trying to [G] see a brightrer [A] day for each and every [D] one They gave us their [G] light They gave us their [A] spirit and all they could [D] be [G] They were [A] flying for [D] me (4x)
