POCO..... CHORDS AND LYRICS & TABS

[hzryb]

Has anyone purchased the Richie Furay songbook on his site? I believe it contains all the music to Heartbeat of Love (or maybe the Live album)... I'm definitely going to check it out!

[volpi]

Yes I have a copy of the Heartbeat of Love songbook. I purchased it on Richies website.
He was king enough to autograph the book and write apersonal message to my wife and I on the order sheet copy.

There's tabs, chords and lyrics to some of the songs to be found here:

[Bonnie]

Ultimate guitar tabs has some Poco songs on it too.

[randall]

That is correct. Just thought this might be a nice place to have the chords to Poco's songs. After all it is their site. The songs are somewhat limited on all the tabs and chord sites though. Especially with their vast catalog. So maybe we can get some that are not listed.

[hzryb]

I'll do my best to post some more chords & lyrics that I have written down...
(Cut and paste this into a blank document, and use a MONOSPACED font, like Courier) so the chords and tabs print out the way they should!)


BLUEBIRD- Buffalo Springfield

TUNING: D A D G B D

D
G G/B D
Listen to my bluebird laugh
G G/B D
She can't tell you why
G G/B D
Deep within her heart you see
C G/B D C G/B D C G/B D
She knows only cryin', just cryin', yeah

There she sits, a lofty perch
Strangest color blue
Flying is forgotten now
She thinks only of you, just you, awww

D
So get all those blues, must be a thousand hues
C G/B
And each is differently used, you just know
D
You sit there mesmorized by the depth of her eyes
C G/B
If you could catagorize, she got soul
C G/B C G/B D
She got soul, she got soul, she got soul

RIFF 1

RIFF 2 (during lyrics)
Do you think she loves you
Do you think at all?

SOLO (stop, RIFF 3, stop again, begin with banjo)

Soon she's going to fly away
Sadness is her own
Fill herself a bath of tears
And go home, and go home

FOR WHAT IT'S WORTH- Buffalo Springfield

E A
There's something happening here
E A
And what it is ain't exactly clear
E A
There's a man with a gun over there
E A
Telling me that I've got to beware

CHORUS #1:
E D
I think it's time we stop, children, what's that sound
A C (D) E E A E A
Everybody look what goin' down

There's battle lines being drawn
And nobody's right, if everybody's wrong
Young people speaking their minds
Getting so much resistance from behind ...CHORUS

CHORUS #2:
E D
It's time we stop, hey, what's that sound
A C (D) E E A E A
Everybody look what goin' down

E A A G E
What a field day for the heat ooooh
E A A G E
A thousand people in the street ooooh
E A A G E
Singin' songs, and carryin' signs ooooh
E A A G E
Mostly say "hooray for our side" ooooh ...CHORUS #2

Paranoia strikes deep
Into your life it will creep
It starts when you're always afraid
Step outta line, the men come, and take you away
CHORUS (REPEAT SEVERAL TIMES)

Follow Your Dreams

Written by Jim Messina.

G C D Em
There are images around us, in everything we see
G D G
Some are real and some are fantasy
G C D Em
To the one who sees his vision, to the child who lives his dreams
G D G (C-G)
You're the one to decide what you're gonna be
G C D G
So give it your best, and don't worry about what some may say
Em G D
Follow your dreams, it's really all that you can do
G C D Em
Give it your best, and remember that life is what you choose
C D G
Follow your dreams, and do what you love to do
G C D Em
There are places you'll remember, and times you may recall
G D G (C-G)
Faces that refresh your memory
G D Em
May the thoughts that you will picture, help you come to see
G D G
That you're the one to decide what you're gonna be
G C D G
So give it your best, and don't worry about what some may say
Em G D
Follow your dreams, it's really all that you can do
G C D Em
Give it your best, and remember that life is what you choose
C D G
Follow your dreams, and do what you love to do

G C D G
So give it your best, and don't worry about what some may say

C D
Follow your dreams, and do
C D
Follow your dreams, and do
C D G
Follow your dreams, and do what you love to do

I play this song capo'd 4 frets, 'cause I think it sounds good that way, and since I can't sing in ANY key, this works for me. I'm not sure what key it's actually played in...
