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".

Two Shots John Denver (klr)
I took [C] two [D] shots, got [C] no [G] ducks and [D7] cold, cold [G] hands [G] Last night while [D7] Mike and I were out [C] drinking [Am] Trying to [D7] have A good [G] time [G7] The [C] lady with whom I was [G] speaking [Em] [A7] Thought I was feeding her some old [D7] line When I [G] spoke of a [D7] cold winter^?s [C] morning A [Am] duckblind and A [D7] river of [G] gray [G7] The [C] sound of the [Am] snow softly [G] falling [Em] When I [A7] thought I heard somebody [D7] say I took [C] two [D] shots, got [C] no [G] ducks And [D7] cold, cold [G] hands
I could [G] tell by the [D7] gaze of my [C] comrades That [Am] I was the [D7] one who had [G] spoke [G7] Their [C] eyes held a message of [G] patience [Em] The [A7] thrill of the hunt and of [D7] hope But when [G] I spoke [D7] again how they [C] listened For the [Am] wisdom of [D7] what I might [G] say [G7] If the [C] good Lord had [Am] meant us to [G] shoot one [Em] He^?d [A7] surely send more ducks our [D7] way I took [C] two [D] shots, got [C] no [G] ducks And [D7] cold, cold [G] hands
(spoken) Well the [G] lady with [D7] whom I was [C] speaking She laughed [Am] lightly and she [D7] wandered [G] away [G7] My [C] heart like the snow in my [G] story [Em] Fell [A7] silent I^?d hoped she would [D7] stay (sing) It^?s so [G] nice to [D7] talk to some [C] body To find [Am] someone who^?s [D7] willing to [G] share [G7] I [C] know that this [Am] life is worth [G] living [Em] But [A7] sometimes it just isn^?t [D7] fair I took [C] two [D] shots, got [C] no [G] ducks And [D7] cold, cold [G] hands I took [C] two [D] shots, got [C] no [G] ducks And [D7] cold, cold [C] hands [G] - [Am7] - [G]
