Mcdonald Country Joe - Fixing To Die Rag guitar tab

This is called the "fixing to die rag"

It is actually in Nevada, but they has different chords to the way I play

it. Heres what I do

D7

Well Come on all you big strong men

G

Uncle sam needs your help again

D7

Hes got hiself in a fuck of a jam

G G7

Way down yonder in South Vietnam

C Cmin G

So put down your books and pick up your guns

E A7 D7

cause were gonna have a whole lot of fun

D7 A7 D7

And its one two three

G D7

what are we fighting for, dont ask me I dont give a damn

G

next stop is vietnam

D7 A7 D7 G G7

and its five six seven open up the pearly gates

C Cmin G E

well there aint no time to wonder why

A7 D7 G

whoppie were all going to die

Well thats it roughly. I think I have the chords in the right places, but

I dont have my guitar with me so I not entirely sure. You should find that it

comes together mostly. The C Cmin G bit is best played at the third fret as a

barre. I always play this fairly fast, and loud. Its actually quite a party

piece. There is after all nothing quite like at 20 year old Vietnam protest song

to prove what an irrelevant washed out old hippie that you really are
