The title track of Poco's fourth studio album, a Richie Furay song that became the band's most recognisable tune from its early days, although the album did less well than expected and discouraged Furay. The album has Paul Cotton and Richie Furay on guitars with Rusty Young on steel. The sources available here don't name the guitars or amps, so the rig is a suggestion. Play the driving, country-flavoured riff with a bright, lightly driven bridge-pickup tone and brisk, twangy picking. No transcription could be checked, so no tuning is given.
