You Won't Have To Cry - The Byrds

You Won't Have To Cry - The Byrds
2:07
Mr. Tambourine Man, 1965
Written by Gene Clark and Roger McGuinn

At first I thought this was a Beatles cover; it's definitely got a Lennon/McCartney vibe, from the stabs of guitar at the beginning to the lyric, which addresses a girl in the second person. "Oh you know it makes me sad to see you feel so bad / But it's happened to you many times before."  That could easily have been a Fab Four lyric.  Overall, it's a middling Byrds track, but the perfect harmonies and '60s pop jangle are pleasant enough.
