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)

DA7D He's a drug store truck drivin man he's the head of the Ku Klux Klan EmA7D When summer rolls around he'll be lucky if he's not in town DA7 Well he's got him a house on the hill GD He plays country records till you've had your fill Em He's a farmer's friend he's an all night D.J. firemans A7D But he sure does think different from the records he plays DA7D He's a drug store truck drivin man he's the head of the Ku Klux Klan EmA7D When summer rolls around he'll be lucky if he's not in town

DA7 He don't like the young folks I know GD He told me one night on his radio show Em He's got him a medal he won in the war A7D He weighs 500 pounds and he sleeps on the floor DA7D He's a drug store truck drivin man he's the head of the Ku Klux Klan EmA7D When summer rolls around he'll be lucky if he's not in town DA7 He's been like a father to me GD He's the only D.J. you can hear after three Em I'm an all night musician in a rock n roll band A7D And why he don't like me I can't understand DA7D He's a drug store truck drivin man he's the head of the Ku Klux Klan EmA7D When summer rolls around he'll be lucky if he's not in town A7GG/F#G/ED He'll be lucky if he's not in town
This ones for you Ralph
