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 Your Gentle Way Of Loving Me written by Gary Paxton Gib Gilbreau
ABmD It's the humming of the engines on the Greyhound bus and trains ABmC#mE That keeps your memory on my mind and here with me ABmDA Many miles have come between us, cold nights on some roadside EA Bringing back your gentle ways of loving me ABmDA It's the thought of how you love me, how you treat me, how you thrill
me BmC#mE That clears my fogged-up mind to where I see ABmDA Some little girl as I walk by just looking at me sadly AEA Bringing back your gentle ways of loving me ED It's just your gentle ways of loving me EA It's just your gentle ways of loving me ABmDA It's the happiness I've never found with other loves that bothers BmC#mE And a mother saying how her child loves me ABmDA And times you never talked about those late evening hours EA Bringing back your gentle ways of loving me ED It's just your gentle ways of loving me EA It's just your gentle ways of loving me ED It's just your gentle ways of loving me EA It's just your gentle ways of loving me
