\h copy

COPY tablename [ ( column [, ...] ) ]
     TO { 'filename' | STDOUT }
     [ [ WITH ]
           [ BINARY ]
           [ OIDS ]
           [ DELIMITER [ AS ] 'delimiter' ]
           [ NULL [ AS ] 'null string' ]
           [ CSV [ QUOTE [ AS ] 'quote' ]
                 [ ESCAPE [ AS ] 'escape' ]
                 [ FORCE QUOTE column [, ...] ]

Yes.. you just have to specify the columns...
