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 Just A Season written by Roger McGuinn/Jacques Levy
C#mG#mAB7E If all my days were hills to climb and circles without reason C#mG#mAB7E If all I was just passing time my life was just a season EF#mAE Dares and dreams and silly schemes and fillies running freely C#mAB7 I was young and there was no song that didn't sound appealing AB7EF#m I'd have my fun with a shy girl and maybe hop a train AB7E And I'd look back at her standing in the rain EF#mAE^? Dirty hands and root beer stands and money like a river C#mAB7 Making deals to see how it feels to get more than you're giving AB7EF#m I'd have my fun with a gamblin man and bluff him with my face AB7E And it's drinks for everybody in the place C#mG#mAB7E If all my days were hills to climb and circles without reason C#mG#mAB7E If all I was just passing time my life was just a season EF#mAE Shouting crowds and mummers shrouds and people going crazy C#mAB7 Always said what was in their heads it surely was amazing AB7EF#m I had my fun in the bull ring and never got a scar AB7E It really wasn't hard to be a star C#mG#mAB7E If all my days were hills to climb and circles without reason C#mG#mAB7E If all I was just passing time my life was just a season
