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 Set You Free This Time written by Gene Clark

D The first thing that I heard you say when you were standing there BmA Set in your way was that you were not blind D You were sure to make a fool of me cause there was nothing there BmA That you could see that could go beyond your mind E Now who's standing at the door remembering the days before D And asking please be kind AEA It isn't how it was set up to be but I've set you free this time D I have never been so far out in front that I could ever ask for what I want BmA And have it any time D Knowing this you found a thought for me that told you just what I should be BmA And there I stood behind E With all the ones that went before and memories that always seems to D Tear me from my mind AEA In front of what it is you seem me to be I've set you free this time D I could never find a chance to choose between a way to win or a BmA thing to lose because there was your stand D On top of all the love you took BmA There was only something you can look at lying in your hand E Now who's wondering what has changed and why it can not be arranged D To have each thing work fine AEA It isn't how it was set up to be but I'll set you free this time
