Hey all,

My mind went blank, and I was wondering who originally wrote this? Rhapsody pulls up a live version by the Byrds, but for some reason I think this is another cover, so I thought I'd check.

Thanks. all help is appreciated.

    Found this googling. :) Interesting, the Monkees.

    I think Roger McGuinn of the Byrds was inspired to write this song after seeing "A Hard Day's Night."

    I think it was Roger McGuinn who wrote the song.
    Down the street you can hear her scream youre a disgrace
    As she slams the door in his drunken face
    And now he stands outside
    And all the neighbours start to gossip and drool
    He cries oh, girl you must be mad,
    What happened to the sweet love you and me had?
    Against the door he leans and starts a scene,
    And his tears fall and burn the garden green

    actually both roger mcguinn AND chris hillman wrote it.

    hold my hand
    lie beside me
    i just need to say
