In The Country chords by Chicago

Chords with lyrics

Tuning: Standard (E MajorE A augmentedA D MajorD G+G BB E MajorE)

Especially in the outro it's not clear if the chords are major or minor,
as only the horn section plays the (single) notes. So you best play
power chords. Same goes for the endings of Verses 4 and 5 and some of the interludes.
