The Byrds were a popular American rock band formed in Los Angeles, California in 1964. They are considered one of the most important and influential bands of the 1960s.
Their music bridged the gaps between the socially and spiritually conscious folk music of Bob Dylan, the studio trickery of The Beach Boys, and the sardonic rock of The Beatles. Some of their trademark songs include pop versions of Bob Dylan's Mr. Tambourine Man and Pete Seeger’s Turn! Turn! Turn! (To Everything There Is a Season)

The Byrds Child Of The Universe by Roger McGuinn and Dave Gruisin
GDCEm Love for anyone who needs her GDCEmFC Innocense is all that feeds her C Rolling through the mist GDCEm Floating in a sea of madness GDCEmFD Reaching for the heighths of gladness D Or did she exist? EmA Swirling ions from the stars DEm Streaming down onto the earth GD >From a galaxy like ours ABm Manifested in her birth EmA Child of the universe DEm Giving freely of herself GD Purity of truth rehearse ABm Leaving man her cosmic well GDCEm Love for anyone who needs her GDCEmFC Innocense is all that feeds her C Rolling through the mist GDCEm Floating in a sea of madness GDCEmFD Reaching for the heighths of gladness D Or did she exist? EmA Vision of an untouched grace DEm Walking gaily through the sun GD No one else could take her place ABm Nor the work that she'd begun GDCEm Love for anyone who needs her GDCEmFC Innocense is all that feeds her C Rolling through the mist GDCEm Knowing what is understanding GDCEm Patience that is undemanding FD Or did she exist?
Or did she exist?
Or did she exist?
