PONTIAC (Fred Eaglesmith)
The chords to this are essentially just E and C#, however the chorus works
better with an Eminor from the 7th fret. I recommend playing the full chords,
not power chords, if playing this acoustically. Also, when this song gets
going, try playing A7/B7 (Johnny Cash style), instead of the C-it's a nice
modification.
