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 Pretty Boy Floyd written by Woody Guthrie
G C G
Well gather round children, a story I will tell
D G C G
About Pretty Boy Floyd the outlaw, Oklahoma knew him well
G C G
Was in the town of Shawnee on a Saturday afternoon
D G C G
His wife beside him in a wagon as into town they rode
fiddle break
G C G
And along come a deputy sheriff in a manner rather rude
D G C G
Using vulgar words of language and his wife she overheard
G
And Pretty Boy grabbed a long chain,
C G
And the deputy grabbed a gun
D G C G
And in the fight that followed, he laid that deputy down
banjo break
G
Then he ran through the trees and bushes
C G
And lived a life of shame
D G C G
Every crime in Oklahoma was added to his name
G C G
He ran through trees and bushes on the Canadian River shore
D G C G
And many a starving farmer opened up his door
fiddle break
G C G
It was in Oklahoma City, It was on a Christmas Day
D G C G
A whole carload of groceries and a letter that did say
G C G
Well you say that I'm an outlaw, you say that I'm a thief
D G C G
Well, here's a Christmas dinner for the families on relief
mandolin break
G C G
As through this life you travel, you meet some funny men
D G C G
Some rob you with a six-gun, some with a fountain pen
G C G
As through this life you ramble, as through this life you roam
D G C G
You'll never see an outlaw take a family from their home
From The Byrds "Sweetheart Of The Rodeo"
Columbia Records 1968
