E                         B         E
I hear people talkin' bad about the way

E                                B
We have to live here in this country

B7
Harpin' on the wars we fight

B7                    B                E
And gripin' 'bout the way things oughta be

E                    B
And I don't mind 'em switchin' sides

E                                       B         E
And standin' up for things they believe in

B7
When they're runnin' down my country, man

B7                                     E
They're walkin' on the fightin' side of me

E                                     B
Yeah, walkin' on the fightin' side of me

B                       B7
Runnin' down the way of life

B                     B7                 E
Our fightin' men have fought and died to keep

E
If you don't love it, leave it

E                 E7           A
Let this song I'm singin' be a warnin'

A           B7              B
When you're runnin' down my country, man

B                                      E      B
You're walkin' on the fightin' side of me

E                           B
I read about some squirrely guy

E                                    B
Who claims, he just don't believe in fightin'

B7
And I wonder just how long

B7                 B              E
The rest of us can count on bein' free

E                      B
They love our milk and honey

E                                       B
But they preach about some other way of livin'

B7
When they're tearin’ down my country, hoss

B7                 B              E
They're walkin' on the fightin' side of me

E                                     B
Yeah, walkin' on the fightin' side of me

B                       B7
Runnin' down the way of life

B                     B7                 E
Our fightin' men have fought and died to keep

E
If you don't love it, leave it

E                 E7           A
Let this song I'm singin' be a warnin'
