Biography:
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 Jack Tarr The Sailor written by Roger McGuinn
Corrections provided by Roger McGuinn
Dm C Dm C Dm
When first I came to Liverpool I went upon the spree
C A
Me money at last I spent it fast got drunk as drunk could be
Dm C A
And when my money was all gone it was then that I wanted more
Dm C Dm C Dm
But a man must be blind to make up his mind to go to sea once more
Dm C Dm C Dm
Dm C Dm C Dm
I spent the night with Angeline to drunk to roll in bed
Me watch it was new and my money was too
C A
And the morning with them she fled
Dm C A
And as I roamed the streets of Bath the whores they all would roar
Dm C
There goes Jarr Tarr the poor sailor
Dm C Dm Dm C Dm C Dm
He must go to sea once more
Dm C Dm C Dm
As I walking down the steet I ran into Rapper Brown
C A
I asked him for to take me in and he looked at me with a frown
Dm C A
He said last time you was on board with me you job no score
Dm C
But I'll take your advance and I'll give you the chance
Dm C Dm Dm C Dm C Dm
And I'll send you to sea once more
Dm C Dm C Dm
They shipped me aboard of a whaling ship bound for the Artic Sea
Where the cold winds blow thru the frost and the snow
C A
Jamaica rum would freeze
Dm C A
A'las I had no luck with my gear for I left my money ashore
Dm C Dm C Dm
It was then that I wished that I was there safe with the girl's
Dm
ashore
Dm C Dm C Dm
Dm C Dm C Dm
Come all ye boat seafaring lads who listen to my song
C A
And when you come off them long trip pray that you don't go wrong
Dm C A
Take my advice drink no strong drink don't go sleeping with no whores
Dm C Dm C Dm
But get married lads and have all night in and go to to sea no more
From the "Ballad Of Easy Rider" LP Columbia Records 1969
