[Verse 1]
E B E B7 I hear people talking bad about the way we have to live here in this country B7 E Harpin' on the wars we fight, gripin' 'bout the way things ought to be E B7 I don't mind them switchin' sides and standin' up for things they believe in B7 When they're runnin' down our country, man E They're walkin' on the fightin' side of me
[Chorus]
E B7 They're walkin' on the fightin' side of me B7 E Runnin' down a way of life our fightin' men have fought and died to keep E If you don't love it, leave it E7 A Let this song that I'm singin' be a warnin' B7 When you're runnin' down our country, hoss E You're walkin' on the fightin' side of me
(Repeat intro riff)
[Verse 2]
E B I read about some squirrely guy E B7 Who claims that he just don't believe in fightin' B7 E And I wonder just how long the rest of us can count on bein' free E B7 They love our milk and honey but they preach about some other way of livin' B7 When they're runnin' down our country, man E They're walkin' on the fightin' side of me
[Chorus]
E B7 They're walkin' on the fightin' side of me B7 E Runnin' down a way of life our fightin' men have fought and died to keep E If you don't love it, leave it E7 A Let this song that I'm singin' be a warnin' B7 When you're runnin' down our country, man E C7 You're walkin' on the fightin' side of me
[Chorus] (key change)
F C7 You're walkin' on the fightin' side of me C7 F Runnin' down a way of life our fightin' men have fought and died to keep F If you don't love it, leave it F7 Bb Let this song that I'm singin' be a warnin' C7 When you're runnin' down our country, hoss F You're walkin' on the fightin' side of me
