Going Up The Country Chords

(ver. 1)
Canned Heat
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.

Strumming pattern (Capo 8th Fret)
