Poco - "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#mF# Casually, you and me EF# Will pick up the pieces, uh-huh
Verse: EF# Somebody yelled out at me BE Country music and company G#m Kinda makes it EF# On a Sunday afternoon EF# Picnic lunches of yesterday BE Should still have a place in your heart today G#m Think it over EF#EB '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)
(Instrumental break on verse chords)
