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".

Me and My Uncle John Phillips/John Denver (klr)
[Am] Me and my Uncle went a ridin down >From Colo [C] rado, West Texas [E] bound We stopped [Am] over in Sante Fe, Part it [C] being about half [E] way [Am] Besides it was the [E] hottest part of the [Am] day
[Am] We led our ponies into the stall Went to a [C] bar boys bought drinks for [E] all Two days in the [Am] saddle, my body hurt It being [C] summer, I took off my [E] shirt And [Am] tried to wash off [E] some of that dusty [Am] dirt
[Am] West Texas cowboys all over town With gold and [C] silver, they're loaded [E] down Just in from [Am] round up you know it seemed a shame So my [C] Uncle starts a friendly [E] game A [Am] hollow jack the [E] winner takes the [Am] gain
[Am] From the beginning my Uncle started to win Them Texas [C] cowboys they was as mad as [E] sin Some said he's [Am] cheatin', ah but that can't be Because my [C] Uncle, he's as honest as [E] me And [Am] I'm about as honest as a [E] Denver man can [Am] be
[Am] One of them cowboys you know he started to draw I grabbed a [C] bottle, slapped him on the [E] jaw I had to shoot [Am] another, now he won't grow old In the [C] confusion, my Uncle grabbed the [E] gold And [Am] we hightailed it [E] down to Mexi [Am]co ...Mexico...way down to Mexico
instrumental verse
[Am] God bless cowboys, God bless gold God bless my [C] Uncle, God rest his [E] soul He taught me [Am] well Lord, taught me all I know Taught me so [C] well, that I grabbed the [E] gold [Am] Left him lying [E] there by the side of the [Am] road
