This Byrds classic was written by folk legend Pete Seeger over fifty years ago. The lyrics were adapted by Pete from the Bible, the Book of Ecclesiastes, Chapter 3 Verse 1-8.

I've always felt that it says that we are born into an environment where things usually go wrong, but bad times always pass. It's a song of hope.

Roger McGuinn arranged a version for Judy Collins. The version done by the Byrds is one of the best songs of the sixties.

Hope you like this acoustic version, done in the key of A and slightly faster than the McGuinn versions. (less info)
