The Byrds foi uma banda de rock norte-americana formada em 1964 em Los Angeles. Várias de suas músicas são covers de um dos seus maiores ídolos: Bob Dylan. Consistindo em uma mistura entre o folk rock de Bob Dylan e o som pop de The Beatles, a banda é considerada uma das mais importantes e influentes para o rock na década de 1960. Durante sua carreira ajudaram no desenvolvimento de gêneros como folk rock, space rock e rock psicodélico. A banda teve várias formações até o seu final em 1972, após a gravação do álbum Byrds.

DA6Bm Always alone,
GG/F#bass A7 never with a herd
DA6Bm Prettiest mare I've ever seen,
GG/F#bass A7 you'll have to take my word
GG/F# bass EmA7DA6Bm I'm going to catch that horse if I can
GG/F# bass EmA7DA6Bm and when I do I'll give her my brand
DA6Bm Well I was up on Stony Ridge
GG/F#bass EmA7 after this chestnut mare, been chasing her for weeks
DA6Bm Oh I'd catch a glimpse of her every once in a while
GG/F#bass EmA7 (A7susA7) D taking her meal, bathing, fine lady
A6Bm This one day I happen to be real close to her
GG/F#bass Em and I saw her standing over there
A7DA6Bm so I snuck up on her nice and easy
GG/F#bass got my rope out
EmA7 and I flung it in the air!
CHORUS
GG/F# bass EmA7DA6Bm I'm going to catch that horse if I can
GG/F# bass EmA7DA6Bm and when I do I'll give her my brand
GG/F#bass Em And we'll be friends for life
GG/F#bass Em She'll be just like a wife
GG/F#bass EmA7DA6Bm I'm going to catch that horse if I can
And I got her and I'm pulling on her And she's pulling back like this mule going up a ladder And I take a choice and I jump right up on her Damned if I don't land right on top of her And she takes off, running up onto the ridge higher than I've ever been before She's running along just fine 'til she stops and something spooked her it's a sidewinder, all coiled and ready to strike she doesn't know what to do for a second, but then, she jumps off the edge, me holding on
(Canyon music!)
D (A bass, B bass) CC/B bass Em Above the hills, higher than eagles were gliding
(Ebass, F# bass) GD suspended in the sky
D over the hill
(A bass, B bass) CC/B bass Em straight for the sun we were riding
(E bass, F# bass) GG/F# bass Asus my eyes were filled with light
D behind those black walls
(A bass, B bass) CC/B bass Em below was a bottomless canyon
(Ebass, F# bass) GD floating with no sound
D ghosts far below
(A bass, B bass) CC/B bass Em seemed to be suddenly rising
GG/F#bass Asus exploding all around
(Chorus)
We were falling down this crevice about about a mile down it seem and I looked down And I see this red thing below us coming up real fast and it's our reflection that's this little pool of water about six feet wide and one foot deep We're falling down right through it We hit, we splashed it dry that's when I lost my hold and she got away but I'm gonna try and get her again some day
