[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
