Going Up The Country

          A
Gotta get going’ 'cause I can’t stay  here long now,
          D                                   A
'cause I'm tired of the way, I've been dogged around,
            E                                      A
well, I've got to roam, maybe find me a brand new home.

I’m goin’ up the country, baby, don’t you wanna go?
          D                                      A

I’m goin’ to some place where I’ve never been before.

     A
I’m goin’, I’m goin’ where the water tastes like wine,
     D                                A
I’m going where the water tastes like wine,
        E                   E7                  A
we can jump in the water, stay drunk all the time.

I’m gonna leave the city, got to get away,
            D                          A
I’m gonna leave the city, got to get away,
           E                              E7                 A
all this fussing and fighting, man, you know I sure can’t stay.

           A
Now, baby, pack your leaving trunk,
you know I’ve got to leave today,
A
    just exactly where I’m goin’ I cannot say,
      D                                A
but         we might even leave the U.S.A.,
              E                 E7                 A
’cause there’s a brand new game that  I don’t want to play.

No use of you running or screaming and crying,
                 E                E7       A
'cause you’ve got a home as long as I’ve got mine.

Gotta get goin’, gotta get going, one more!
