Roger McGuinn (born James McGuinn III) is most famous for being a founding member, singer, guitarist, and songwriter in The Byrds. Since that band's demise he has had moderate success as a solo artist, working with many other artists, including Bob Dylan and Tom Petty. Some of his solo material has appeared in films, such as 1969's Easy Rider. Roger, along with the other Byrds members, was honored with an induction into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame in 1991.

Roger McGuinn Russian Hill written by Roger McGuinn/Jacques Levy
F#mED Last night in the middle of a dream I started thinking bout Russian F#m Hill E And Ferlinghetti with his Coney Island mind DF#mEDF#m And you and me with some time to fill F#mE We ate in Chinatown we rode the cable car DF#m We did what tourists always do F#mEDF#m But in the dream you were a movie star and I was someone too EF#mE Was that the two of us in love why did it end so soon DC#mDC#m I don't believe in fallin out of love I never met the man in the moon DC#mDF#m If it's so hard to find the key it's not the singer it's the tune F#mE Sun high in the California sky DF#m We walked around the beach around Monterey ED True confessions in a Sausalito bar the windows DF#m Shinning across the bay E The age of innocence and searching in the dark DF#m For what we'd never seen EDF#m And so we could taste the sweetness of our lives in bitter mescaline EF#mE Was that the two of us in love why did it end so soon DC#mDC#m I don't believe in fallin out of love I never met the man in the moon DC#mDF#m If it's so hard to find the key it's not the singer it's the tune
