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.

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
