[Verse]
A                        E  A
On this side of the law, On that side of the law,

D      A      D      A      D      A       D                  A
Who is right? Who is wrong? Who is for and who?s against the law?

    A      E       A      D            A
You see, I didn't really mean you no harm,

    A                                B7
But I simply couldn't make it on the farm.

     E              A
When the land won't give a lot You gotta do with what you got.

    B7                           E
And all I got's the muscle in my arm;

        A             D              A
Well, I wouldn't ever hurt my fellow man.

            A                               B7
And Mister seems to me that you could under stand.

    D              A                    B7               A
I'm just tryin' to help my self without hurtin' somebody else.

      B7             E              A
And a man has got to do the best he can.

E   A                    E   A
On this side of the law, On that side of the law,

D      A      D      A       D      A       D                 A
Who is right? Who is wrong?  Who is for and who's against the law?

A                      D             A
Well, I didn't mean to let my fam'ly down,

    E          A                  B7
And I'm not giving you the run a round.

    A                                D            A
I'd much rather be dead than have to beg my daily bread.

       B7                             E
And to pay my way no matter where I'm bound;

        A             D                A
Well, I didn't really think that I did wrong.

        A                          B7
Just as long I stayed here where I belong.

  D         A                         D         A
I did the only thing I could, Same as anybody would.

    B7           E             A
Yes I was simply trying to get along.

E   A                    E  A
On this side of the law, On that side of the law,

D      A      D      A       D      A       D                 A
Who is right? Who is wrong?  Who is for and who's against the law?
