Going Up The Country by Canned Heat - Guitar Chords

Version 1 Version 2 Version 3 Version 4

            This tab for the studio version of Going Up the Country. Some have posted the lyrics and 
for the live Woodstock version.
The song is play in Bb with a Capo on the 8th fret. I saw a video which showed Alan 
strumming the chords with his thumb instead of a pick.
