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).

The Byrds Long Live The King written by David Crosby
EmBmGD The first thing that they tell you about is that you will be king EmGD A priest at least they tell you and then that everything will be A alright at last Em You will finally be cast into your rightful throne BmEm They got it all down cold EmBmGD Next thing that they tell you is not to be afraid EmGD You think you're better than the others somewhat fine and brave A They lead astray you could be up there all alone
A star they say a million miles away from home GFEm An empty space is that the place you wanted EmBmGD The last thing that they tell you about they ask you will it hurt EmGD They said sell what you can boy get out while the getting's good A And they whisper in the evening all around town A Oh humpty dumpty the king is falling down

The Byrds Things Will Be Better written by Chris Hillman Dallas Taylor
GD Things will be better now CDG Don't ask me why don't ask me how D And both of us feel the same way CDG What we're feeling inside we just can't seem to say A Cause misunderstanding is the cause of it all D Take you to the top just to watch you fall GD Some time it's lonely and cold CDG When you're so far away from home D Confusion can lead you astray CDG It's just a terrible price to pay A I bought you some books I dressed you up real fine D Go and live your life just let me live mine
