Oh what will you give me
Say the sad bells of Rhymney
Is there hope for the future
Cry the brown bells of Merthyr
Who made the mine owner
Say the black bells of Rhondda
And who robbed the miner
Cry the grim bells of Blaina
They will plunder willy-nilly
Cry the bells of Caerphilly
They have fangs, they have teeth
Say the loud bells of Neathe
Even God is uneasy
Say the moist bells of Swansea
They will plunder willy-nilly
Say the bells of Caerphilly
Put the vandals in court
Say the bells of Newport
All would be well if, if, if
Cry the green bells of Cardiff
Why so worried, sisters, why
Sang the silver bells of Wye
And what will you give me
The Byrds sono stati un gruppo musicale statunitense di grande importanza nella storia del folk rock. Attivi dal 1964 al 1973, hanno contribuito in modo significativo alla nascita e alla diffusione di questo genere musicale con il loro sound caratteristico, definito "jingle-jangle", basato sull'utilizzo pionieristico della chitarra Rickenbacker a 12 corde. Il gruppo ha raggiunto la notorietà internazionale grazie alla cover di Mr Tambourine Man di Bob Dylan, che divenne un successo planetario nel 1965. Tra i membri più noti si ricordano Roger McGuinn (chitarra e voce), David Crosby (voce e chitarra), Gene Clark (voce e chitarra) e Chris Hillman (basso). Oltre a Mr Tambourine Man, altri brani rappresentativi del loro repertorio sono Eight Miles High, Turn! Turn! Turn! e I'll Feel A Whole Lot Better. The Byrds hanno pubblicato diversi album di successo, tra cui Mr. Tambourine Man (1965), Turn! Turn! Turn! (1966) e Younger Than Yesterday (1967). Il loro impatto sulla musica è stato enorme, influenzando generazioni di artisti folk rock e country rock.
