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) E--2-2--2-0--2-2--2-0-| B--3-3--3-0--3-3--3-0-| G--2-2--2-0--2-2--2-0-| D--0-0--0-0--0-0--0-0-| A---------------------| E---------------------| Going Up the Country Canned Heat
