Biography:
The Kinks (1963–1996; 2018-present) is an English pop-rock group that came out of the British R&B scene of the early 1960s. Formed in Muswell Hill, North London, by brothers Ray Davies and Dave Davies in 1964 and categorised in the United States as a "British Invasion" band, the Kinks are recognised as one of the most important and influential rock groups of the era. In 1990, their first year of eligibility, the original four members were inducted into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame.

D C G
Big Sky looked down on all the people who think they've got problems
They get depressed and they hold their heads in their hands and they cry
The people life up their hands and they look up to The Big Sky

We won't care just you wait and see
Till that day can be don't let it get you down Bb
