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 Hungry Planet written by McGuinn/Battin/Fowley
1-2,1-2
G7 to G I'm a hungry planet
I had a youthful face C7 They were in a hurry G7 to G To go to outer space C7 They needed bombs and tungsten G7 to G Ore and iron too BbC So they climbed and they dug and they blew G7 to G Divided me right in two
SOLO
G7 to G I'm a hungry planet
Orbiting in the sky C7 The things they did to hurt me G7 to G Pass on by and by C7 Now here I am all alone G7 to G They never ever learn BbC Well I had to shake and quake G7 to G And make their houses burn
SOLO
G7 to G I'm a hungry planet
I had the bluest seas C7 Oh the people kept choppin' down G7 to G All my finest trees C7 Poisonin' my oxygen G7 to G Diggin' into my skin BbC Takin' more out of my good earth G7 to G Than they'll ever put back in
I'm a hungry planet.....
