The Byrds

For Free

by The Byrds
The Byrds

Biography:

The Byrds were a popular American rock band formed in Los Angeles, California in 1964. They are considered one of the most important and influential bands of the 1960s.

Their music bridged the gaps between the socially and spiritually conscious folk music of Bob Dylan, the studio trickery of The Beach Boys, and the sardonic rock of The Beatles. Some of their trademark songs include pop versions of Bob Dylan's Mr. Tambourine Man and Pete Seeger’s Turn! Turn! Turn! (To Everything There Is a Season)

The Byrds For Free written by Joni Mitchell

G Fmaj7 Em
I slept last night in a good hotel
Am C F C
I went shopping today for jewels
G Fmaj7 Em
The wind rushed around the dirty town
Am C F C
And the children let out from the schools
Am G
I was standing on a noisy corner
C G F Em D
Waiting for the walking green
G Fmaj7 Em
Across the street he stood and he played real good
Am C F C
On his clairinet for free

G D F C G D F C

G Fmaj7 Em
Now me I play for fortune
Am C F C
And those velvet curtain calls
G Fmaj7 Em
I've got a black limousine and two ladies
Am C F C
Escorting me to the halls
Am G
And I'll play If you have the money
C G F Em D
Or if you're a friend to me-ee-ee
G Fmaj7 Em
But the one man band by the quick lunch stand
Am C F C
He was playing real good for free

G D F C G D F C

G Fmaj7 Em
Well Nobody stopped to hear him
Am C F C
Though he played so sweet and high
G Fmaj7 Em
And they knew he had never been on their TV screen
Am C F C
So they passed his music by
Am G
Well I meant to go over and ask for a song
C G F Em D
Maybe put on a harmony
G Fmaj7 Em
I heard his refrain as the signal changed
Am C F C Em
He was still playing real good for free
