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 Bad Night At The Whiskey written by R. McGuinn/Joe Richards
G F
Pushed me off the street today
G F Em Dm F Em F
The light in my eyes gets in the way
G F
Of the darkness you pushed me in
C Em Am D7
You say that it's a sin we're hanging around
G F G F Em Dm F Em F
You told me not to sing today you say my music gets in the way
G F C Em
Cause it walks on in just as you begin
Am D7
Bringing my soul brothers down
D C G Bm
And although you're smiling your hate will not cease
D C G A
So just face yourself babe and leave my soul in peace
SOLO
G F G F Em Dm F Em F
Well I'll stay out of your way if you keep out of mine
G F C
If I only could let the evil go, oh you know,
Em Am D7 G
We'll both go down in fire
