Roger McGuinn (born James McGuinn III) is most famous for being a founding member, singer, guitarist, and songwriter in The Byrds. Since that band's demise he has had moderate success as a solo artist, working with many other artists, including Bob Dylan and Tom Petty. Some of his solo material has appeared in films, such as 1969's Easy Rider. Roger, along with the other Byrds members, was honored with an induction into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame in 1991.

EF#m Had a friend the other day he got in over his head AE Went out for big money and he wound up lying dead EF#m They stabbed him in the back as he was to get his share AB And he went out knowing life can be unfair EABE Oh friend why did you try so hard to pretend ABE That you could beat your own gut feelings in the end F#mBEB7 Oh we're gonna miss you round here good old friend EF#m He'd always been so careful bout the things he'd done before AE Never stepped on anyone he never came in their back door F#m But that night he broke one of his own rules AB And he went out knowing life can be so cruel EABE Old friend why did you try so hard to pretend ABE That you could beat your own gut feelings in the end F#mBE Oh we're gonna miss you round here good old friend
