Those are the chords being played during the line or verse. You kinda have to figure where the chord change takes place

Ride the Country

Intro: F# B (3X) G#

F# B F# B
In she comes a-ridin', on a mornin' sunrise
F# B F# B
I am left to believing all that is standing before my eyes
D#m G# D#m G#
And I wonder, Now I wonder
B F#
Would the sun have shown ever so brightly alone

We been livin' all of our lives on the other side of the hill
Drifting on a golden wing, and I can't wait to hear the smile
She can sing, She can sing
Take me through the day, steal my breath away

F# B
And we ride the countryside, take it high and wide,
F# B
She brings the crackers, cheese and wine
D#m G#
Oh, they're gonna bust my side

And she's got strawberries comin' by the dozen
Brown sugar and sweet cream
Set my mouth, set my mouth a-buzzin'

F# B F# B
Take my hand and run, take me down to the river blue
F# B
Throw a whisper to the wind
D#m G# D#m G#
That all you're sayin' is true, all you're sayin' is true

F# B F# B
Ride the countryside, Take me high and wide (repeat and fade)

"guess im a little confused when you show two chords at once its that the notes being played in the first chord listed or are you actualy switching between the two chords"

Lumpyrider, if you are referring to chords such as "D/C#" in the Midnight Rain tab, read this as "finger a D chord, but add the note C#." The easiest way do this is to lay your first finger across the second fret of the first three strings.

Krikkit's Song(Passing Through)

Chorus:
F#m B E A
Passing through I bring love to you
F#m B E A
Let me see your smile
F#m B E A
Though it seems so untrue, I'm standing right here beside you
F#m G#m C#
Can I stay a while

C# Bbm
I been too long feeling kinda low
B D#m G# C#
Help me to follow through from the start
C# Bbm
'Cause I can't seem to find a way to go
B D#m G# Fm Bb
Is it for me to know my mind n a place that holds no time
D#m G# C#
For a little while 'cause soon we must part

Chorus

Firefly dance for you and I, and don't go
Leaving us hollow through from the start
'cause moonlight don't seem right when you're alone
Is it for you to know my mind with a hope that you might find
Me with you sometime, but soon we must part?

Chorus

I don't have my sheet music for PUTP (in key of C)-- it's one of the few songs I remember without "going to the paper"

But, here's a couple that I do have chords to:

KIND WOMAN (Written by Richie Furay)
Recorded by Buffalo Springfield, "Last Time Around" LP and by Poco, "Live" LP


VERSE 1
C F F# G
Got a good reason for loving you
F C F-Em-Dm-C
It's an old fashion sigh
C F F# G
I kinda get the feelin' like mmm you know when
F C F-Em-Dm-C
Fell in love the first time.

CHORUS:
Am C-Am
Kind woman
Am F
Won't you love me tonight
C F-C-F G
The look in your eyes
Am C-Am
Kind woman
Am7 F
Don't leave me lonely tonight
C F-Em-Dm-C
Please say it's all right

VERSE 2:
C F - F# - G
Remember once before hearing the old folks say
F C F-Em-Dm-C
Love's an ageless old prize
C F - F# - G
Nowadays you know the saying depends so much on
F C F-Em-Dm-C
The kind of woman that you find.

REPEAT CHORUS

INTERLUDE

REPEAT CHORUS

INTERLUDE



=============
Crazy Love by POCO
The actual song is played in E (?) using normal fingerings for
these chords with a capo at the 4th fret. Hope it's OK.
Verse 1:
Fmaj7 C
Fmaj7
Tonight I'm gonna break away
G Fmaj7 C
Just you wait and see.
Fmaj7
I'll never be imprisoned by
G Fmaj7 C
a faded memory.

Verse 2:
Fmaj7
Just when I think I'm over her,
G Fmaj7 C
this broken heart will mend.
Fmaj7
I hear her name and I have to cry,
G Fmaj7 C
the tears come down again.

Chorus:
Fmaj7
It happens all the time.
G C
This crazy love of mine,
Fmaj7
wraps around my heart
G C
refusing to unwind.
Fmaj7 G Fmaj7 C
Ooo Ooo Crazy Love
Fmaj7 G Fmaj7 C
Ahh ha

Verse 3:
Count the stars in a summer sky,
that fall without a sound.
And then pretend that you can't hear
these tear drops coming down.

Chorus

Verse 4:
Tonight I'm gonna break away
Just you wait and see
I'll never be imprisoned by
a faded memory.

Chorus
C Fmaj7
Tonight I'm gonna break away.

When It All Began

Written by Richie Furay/Scott Sellen/S. Pasch/M.Krizan

INTRO
G Am C D

G D
I remember the feeling, not so long ago.
Am Am
The kids came dancin', their hearts romancin',
C D
And the music was live Poco.
G D
Some called it country, some called it rock and roll.
Am Am
But whatever the sound, it was sure to be found
C D
With a heart, rhythm and soul.

Em C G D
Do you remember then, how it was when it all began?
Em C D D
Do you remember then, how the music made you feel
G Am C D
When it all began?
G Am C D
Oooh, do you remember when,
G Am C D
When it all began?
G Am C D
Oooh, do you remember when?

G D
New York and Boston, yeah, we sure had some fun.
Am Am
Summer nights in the park, when the music would start,
C D
Ooh, what a time and then some.
G D
We sang together, "a good feelin' to know".
Am Am
Yeah, we turned it up loud, gave our hearts to the crowd,
C D
But then came the end of the show.

CHORUS

Bm C
To capture the moment; to make it ours for all time.
Bm C D
I know we can just remember how it was
G Am C D
When it all began.
G Am C D

and two more Poco chestnuts:

Poco Hurry Up written by Richie Furay


E Bm
Here I sit with you like
D A
The day's got no hours
E Bm D
I find it kind of easy, tho' 'cause I'm lazy
A
It's a good day for showers
E
So, don't worry whatever

I might do, no hurry,
A
For I've been a telling you I'm feeling just fine.
E
And I really couldn't care less this time
G D E
How many more will there be
E Bm A E
Hurry up now tell me my my
E Bm
Patience is a virtue
D A

As rewarding as a new love in spring
E Bm D
But suddenly forgotten when a man
A
Gets caught in his own dream
E
Outspoken, faces again beware
E
The token, of wine in a glass
A
Could dare you just enough
E
Who's joking? And when should I call your bluff
G D E
How many more will there be?
E Bm A E

Hurry up now tell me

SOLO

E
So, don't worry whatever

I might do, no hurry,
A
For I've been a telling you I'm feeling just fine.
E
And I really couldn't care less this time
G D E
How many more will there be
E Bm A E
Hurry up now tell me my my

Yes I remember when
Ooh I met you
You was only too kind to show me the way
You seemed to me
Like no other
It was innocent love that made me believe
Now down that long long road
We have come yet to begin
Take some, try to get some love and then better
Take some again
Ooh slow down, the weather's hazy
Baby you're drivin' me crazy
You know nobody ever gets home a-ridin'
Free
And you'll never find another man
A man like me

Ooh slow down, the weather's hazy
Baby you're drivin' me crazy
You know nobody ever gets home a-ridin'
Free
And you'll never find another man
A man like me
