The Byrds fue un banda de rock estadounidense de mediados de la década de 1960 que fue pionera del Folk Rock, el rock psicodélico y el country rock, siendo considerados como la respuesta estadounidense a la invasión británica encabezada por los Beatles.
EL gérmen de los Byrds fue el trío folk acústico californiano The Jet Set de 1964, integrado por Roger McGuinn (nacido como Jim en Chicago, 1941), Gene Clark (Tipton, Misouri 1941) y David Crosby (Los Ángeles 1941).

GFmaj7Em I slept last night in a good hotel AmCFC I went shopping today for jewels GFmaj7Em The wind rushed around the dirty town AmCFC And the children let out from the schools AmG I was standing on a noisy corner CGFEmD Waiting for the walking green GFmaj7Em Across the street he stood and he played real good AmCFC On his clairinet for free
GDFCGDFC
GFmaj7Em Now me I play for fortune AmCFC And those velvet curtain calls GFmaj7Em I've got a black limousine and two ladies AmCFC Escorting me to the halls AmG And I'll play If you have the money CGFEmD Or if you're a friend to me-ee-ee GFmaj7Em But the one man band by the quick lunch stand AmCFC He was playing real good for free
GDFCGDFC
GFmaj7Em Well Nobody stopped to hear him AmCFC Though he played so sweet and high GFmaj7Em And they knew he had never been on their TV screen AmCFC So they passed his music by AmG Well I meant to go over and ask for a song CGFEmD Maybe put on a harmony GFmaj7Em I heard his refrain as the signal changed AmCFCEm He was still playing real good for free
