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 Pretty Boy Floyd written by Woody Guthrie
GCG Well gather round children, a story I will tell DGCG About Pretty Boy Floyd the outlaw, Oklahoma knew him well GCG Was in the town of Shawnee on a Saturday afternoon DGCG His wife beside him in a wagon as into town they rode
fiddle break
GCG And along come a deputy sheriff in a manner rather rude DGCG Using vulgar words of language and his wife she overheard G And Pretty Boy grabbed a long chain, CG And the deputy grabbed a gun DGCG And in the fight that followed, he laid that deputy down
banjo break
G Then he ran through the trees and bushes CG And lived a life of shame DGCG Every crime in Oklahoma was added to his name GCG He ran through trees and bushes on the Canadian River shore DGCG And many a starving farmer opened up his door
fiddle break
GCG It was in Oklahoma City, It was on a Christmas Day DGCG A whole carload of groceries and a letter that did say GCG Well you say that I'm an outlaw, you say that I'm a thief DGCG Well, here's a Christmas dinner for the families on relief
mandolin break
GCG As through this life you travel, you meet some funny men DGCG Some rob you with a six-gun, some with a fountain pen GCG As through this life you ramble, as through this life you roam DGCG You'll never see an outlaw take a family from their home
From The Byrds "Sweetheart Of The Rodeo" Columbia Records 1968
