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).

Corrections provided by Roger McGuinn
DmCDmCDm When first I came to Liverpool I went upon the spree CA Me money at last I spent it fast got drunk as drunk could be DmCA And when my money was all gone it was then that I wanted more DmCDmCDm But a man must be blind to make up his mind to go to sea once more
DmCDmCDm
DmCDmCDm I spent the night with Angeline to drunk to roll in bed
Me watch it was new and my money was too CA And the morning with them she fled DmCA And as I roamed the streets of Bath the whores they all would roar DmC There goes Jarr Tarr the poor sailor DmCDmDmCDmCDm He must go to sea once more DmCDmCDm As I walking down the steet I ran into Rapper Brown CA I asked him for to take me in and he looked at me with a frown DmCA He said last time you was on board with me you job no score DmC But I'll take your advance and I'll give you the chance DmCDmDmCDmCDm And I'll send you to sea once more DmCDmCDm They shipped me aboard of a whaling ship bound for the Artic Sea
Where the cold winds blow thru the frost and the snow CA Jamaica rum would freeze DmCA A'las I had no luck with my gear for I left my money ashore DmCDmCDm It was then that I wished that I was there safe with the girl's Dm ashore
DmCDmCDm
DmCDmCDm Come all ye boat seafaring lads who listen to my song CA And when you come off them long trip pray that you don't go wrong DmCA Take my advice drink no strong drink don't go sleeping with no whores DmCDmCDm But get married lads and have all night in and go to to sea no more
