POCO..... CHORDS AND LYRICS & TABS

[randall]

Thought that with all the Poconut projects being posted on you tube, that it might be a nice idea to have a Poco chords and tabs section. For those who might have some chords or tabs to add this is the place to share it. Here's a start..........................

Great idea, Randall! Recently, just before the website change, I found there is a key change in the last verse of "Bad Weather". Now its gone. Can someone please repost?

Thank you!
Mark

I have a few sets of chords, and I will see about posting them if (when) I have some time.

The problem with most of the guitar chords I've ever seen on line is that you really need to print out with a monospaced font, so you know where the chord changes go (especially on some tricky chord changes.)

I also have an old sheet music book of Poco that was published in the early 70s (I think after the POCO album!) Has the sheet music for the first two albums.

Thanks Randall....I hope this will be a popular thread....looking forward to others...

Randall with all due respect those are the wrong chords. Sort of. Poco tuned down a half step which makes your chords correct but only if you are tuned to 440 pitch. So when they played the song it was in the key of G because of the half step down tuning which made the song in the key of G, and the second chord is B minor chord.

Pickin up the Pieces................

Chorus:
F#
Well, there's just a little bit o' magic
E
in the country music we're singin'
B
So let's begin
F#
We're bringin' ya back down home
E
Where the folks are happy
B
Sittin', pickin', and a-grinnin'
C#m F#
Casually, you and me
E F#
Will pick up the pieces, uh-huh


Verse:
E F#
Somebody yelled out at me
B E
Country music and company
G#m
Kinda makes it
E F#
On a Sunday afternoon
E F#
Picnic lunches of yesterday
B E
Should still have a place in your heart today
G#m
Think it over
E F# E B
'Cause we'll all be going home so soon

(Repeat Chorus)

If ya had the time to stay
Would ya sit yourself down and play
Country music
Singin' songs that we both knew
Lord, I know that the day will come
When the both of us'll sit down and strum
On our guitars
And you'll see I really am a lot like you

(Repeat chorus)

(Repeat chorus)

E G#m
