John Denver (Roswell, Nuevo México, 31 de diciembre de 1943 - Pacific Grove, California, 12 de octubre de 1997), nacido como Henry John Deutschendorf, Jr. en Roswell, Nuevo México. Murió con 53 años de edad en la costa de Monterey, California cuando pilotaba un Rutan Long-EZ, un avión experimental de fibra de vidrio. Fue tal vez el principal exponente de la música country de EEUU. Dedicó su vida a cantarle a la naturaleza, las relaciones y los valores humanos y a la preservacion de la vida.

Enjoy the following version of Eagles and Horses
Eagles and Horses John Denver & Joe Henry (klr)
[Am] Horses are creatures who [Em] worship the [Am] Earth Galloping on [Em] feet of [C] ivory Con [F] strained by the wonder of [Am] dying and [F] birth The [Am] horses still [Em] run, they are [Am] free
My body is merely the [Em] shell of my [Am] soul But the flesh must be [Em] given it?s [C] due Like a [F] pony that carries it?s [Am] rider back [F] home Like an [Am] old friend who?s [Em] tried and been [Am] true
chorus: I [C] had a vision of [G] Eagles and Horses [F] High on a [Am] ridge in a [C6] race with the [G] wind Going [F] higher and higher, [C] faster and [Am] faster On [F] Eagles and [Am] Horses, I?m [C6] flying [C] again 2nd time Flying [F] again, I?m flying [C] again 3rd time Flying [F] again, I?m flying [C] again Flying [F] again, I?m flying [C] again
[Am] Eagles inhabit the [Em] heavenly [Am] heights They know neither [Em] limits or [C] bounds They?re the [F] guardian angels of [Am] darkness and [F] light They [Am] see all and [Em] hear every [Am] sound
My spirit will never be [Em] broken or [Am] caught For the souls a [Em] free flying [C] thing Like an [F] Eagle that needs neither [Am] comfort nor [F] pause To [Am] rise up on [Em] glorious [Am] wing
chorus:
[Am] My body is merely the [Em] shell of my [Am] soul But the flesh must be [Em] given it?s [C] due Like a [F] pony that carries it?s [Am] master back [F] home Like an [Am] old friend who?s [Em] tried and been [Am] true
My spirit will never be [Em] broken or [Am] caught For the souls a [Em] free flying [C] thing Like an [F] Eagle that needs neither [Am] comfort nor [F] pause To [Am] rise up on [Em] glorious [Am] wing
