Okay, CanHeat fans and Alan Wilson fans, I'm going to show you how to play one of their biggest hits, Going Up The Country,
performed by Alan Wilson, adapted from Bulldoze Blues, and you can find out all that information right here in Rebecca [N] Davis' fine book,
Flying Owl Blues.
Alan Wilson was the rhythm guitarist of CanHeat, great harmonica player, arranger of all their music,
and this song is real easy, a lot of fun to play, chords are simple, D, G7, [Bb] A7, here's the [D] fingerings, [G] D, G7, [A] A7,
[E] you just hit the [D] D chord, lift it [E] up, [N] that's all there is to it.
However, you're saying, well, it doesn't sound anything like the song,
you're right, because you have to capo the guitar, have the golden [Gb] capo, capo it at the 8th fret, [Db] then it all [Bb] comes alive.
[Eb]
[Bb] [F]
[Bb] [Eb] [C] The important thing is to lift that D chord up [Bb] at the end, [Eb] [Bb] that's [N] all there is to it, real easy song to play, keys capo at the 8th fret,
if it's a little too high, if you just sing Alan had a high [E] voice, you can lower the key, maybe a [A] fret, last step, whole [Ab] step,
[Db] maybe a minor [C] third, four frets down, so on the fifth [G] fret, you're going to [E] lose the high end sparkle, but the 8th fret [Bb] is where it is.
[A] I'm going up the country, baby, [Bb] you wanna go.
That don't sound anything like [Eb] Alan.
I'm going up the [Cm] country, baby, you wanna [Bb]
go.
[F] That's why you may want to bring it [N] down a little bit, but that's it, song's easy, flute line's [Bb] simple, [B] [Eb] [B]
[Eb] [N] that's about five notes there on that line,
and real easy to play, you can play it on guitar, you can [D] play it on mandolin, whatever you want to do, [A] flute, recorder,
