Version 1 Version 2Fighting Side Of Me Merle Haggard [Intro] B [Verse] E B7 I hear people talking bad about the way we have to live here in this country. E Harpin' on the wars we fight gripin' 'bout the way things ought to be. B7 I don't mind them switchin' sides and standin' up for things they beleive in, E When they're runnin' down my country man, they're walkin' on the fightin' side Of Me. [Chorus] E B7 Yea walkin' on the fightin' side of me. E Runnin' down a way of life our fightin' men have fought and died to keep, A If you don't love it, leave it, let this song that I'm singin' be a warnin', B7 E When you're runnin' down my country man, you're walkin' on the fightin' side of me. [Instrumental] B E B7 I read about some squirley guy, who claims that he just don't beleive in fightin', E And I wonder just how long the rest of us can count on bein' free. B7 They love our milk and honey but, they preach about some other way of livin', E When they're runnin' down my country hoss', they're walkin' on the fightin' side of me. [Chorus] E B7 Yea walkin' on the fightin' side of me. E Runnin' down a way of life our fightin' men have fought and died to keep, A If you don't love it, leave it, let this song I'm singin' be a warnin', B7 E When you're runnin' down my country man, you're walkin' on the fightin' side of me.

F Runnin' down a way of life our fightin' men have fought and died to keep, Bb If you don't love it, leave it, let this song I'm singin' be a warnin', C7 F When you're runnin' down my country man, you're walkin' on the fightin' side of me.
