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 Stanley's Song written by Roger McGuinn/R. Hippard
DA Upon my face I feel the sun D I see the children play and run Em I hope they'll always stay that way AD As tomorrow turns to yesterday DA The trees are bending with the wind D The evening sky begins to dim Em I see a man who walks alone AD The warmth of love he has not known
SOLO
DA So come my friend and let's be one D Forget your fears let them be done Em It's all one world in which we live AD So understand and try to give
SOLO
DA So come my friend and let's be one D Forget your fears let them be done Em It's all one world in which we live AD So understand and try to give Em It's all one world in which we live AD So understand and try to give
