The Byrds Bad Night At The Whiskey written by R. McGuinn/Joe Richards
G F
Pushed me off the street today
G F Em Dm F Em F
The light in my eyes gets in the way
G F
Of the darkness you pushed me in
C Em Am D7
You say that it's a sin we're hanging around
G F G F Em Dm F Em F
You told me not to sing today you say my music gets in the way
G F C Em
Cause it walks on in just as you begin
Am D7
Bringing my soul brothers down
D C G Bm
And although you're smiling your hate will not cease
D C G A
So just face yourself babe and leave my soul in peace
SOLO
G F G F Em Dm F Em F
Well I'll stay out of your way if you keep out of mine
G F C
If I only could let the evil go, oh you know,
Em Am D7 G
We'll both go down in fire
