  • Yeah,

    This is one of Rogers songs. Gives me goose bumps every time I hear it. It's a great story from a great songwriter and guitarist. Saw this played live when the Byrds were a group. I think '68, +/- but the years were kinda hazy then.

  • This is the best! Rodger has endured so much over the years and i have the upmost respect for him! God Bles you Rodger and hope to see ya up here in Baltimore again soon! Peace always~ Dutch

  • Ahh, just tell me a great story, sing me a great song, that's all I need.

  • Written by Roger McGuinn and Jacques Levy in 1969 as part of a musical adaptation of Henrik Ibsen's play "Peer Gynt". In Ibsen's play the hero is chasing a reindeer, but in McGuinn's song it is a horse.

  • Yes, but the guitar is tuned down a half step, it's in B.

    Original was in D.

  • Comment removed

  • Wow, yes- He does the bridge in D and goes back to the key of C for the rest of the song. He gets away with it just fine! Beautiful song.

  • Outstanding

  • One of the greatest of the great Byrds' canon.
