"Chestnut Mare" is a song by the American rock band the Byrds, written by Roger McGuinn and Jacques Levy during 1969 for a planned country rock musical named Gene Tryp.[1][2] The musical was never staged and the song was instead released in September 1970 as part of the Byrds' (Untitled) album.[3] It was later issued as a single, peaking at number 121 on the Billboard singles chart and number 19 on the UK Singles Chart.[4]
