This is the actuall chords from the Country Joe website, they didnt have anything on
this site so i decided to just copy and paste it...here it is:
1:
D
Come on all of you big strong men,
G
Uncle Sam needs your help again.
D
He's got himself in a terrible jam
G
Way down yonder in Vietnam
E7 A
So put down your books and pick up a gun,
D G
We're gonna have a whole lotta fun.
Chorus:
A7 A#7 D
And it's one, two, three,
D7 G
What are we fighting for?
D
Don't ask me, I don't give a damn,
G
Next stop is Vietnam;
A7 A#7 D
And it's five, six, seven,
D7 G
Open up the pearly gates,
E A
Well there ain't no time to wonder why,
D G
Whoopee! we're all gonna die.
2:
D
Come on generals, let's move fast;
G
Your big chance has come at last.
D
Gotta go out and get those reds —
G
The only good commie is the one that's dead
E7 A
You know that peace can only be won
D G
When we've blown 'em all to kingdom come.
[Chorus]
3:
D
Come on Wall Street, don't move slow,
G
Why man, this is war au-go-go.
D
There's plenty good money to be made
G
Supplying the Army with the tools of the trade,
E7 A
Just hope and pray that if they drop the bomb,
D G
They drop it on the Viet Cong.
[Chorus]
4:
D
Come on mothers throughout the land,
G
Pack your boys off to Vietnam.
D
Come on fathers, don't hesitate,
G
Send your sons off before it's too late.
E7 A
You can be the first one on your block
D G
To have your boy come home in a box.
[Chorus]
These are the right chords to the song, but, it's got a Capo on the 3rd fret. The website where you got it from, theres a side note that sais "I often capo up 3 or 4 frets". The third fret sounds the closest to the Woodstock version
thought i'd let you know!

Fixin’-to-Die Rag
Check out the site with capo at 3rd or 4th fret
I did see County Joe McDonald play this on the History C "the 60's
second fret in standard tuning..
everyone at woodstock a semitone flat.
so if you drop down to Eb tuning
then itll be third fret. GOOD TAB!!
