       E              A             E                                  B7
I hear people talkin' bad about the way they have to live here in this country
B7                                                                E
Harpin' on the wars we fight, gripin' 'bout the way things out to be
E                 A                   E                             B7
I don't mind them switchin' sides and standin' up for things they believe in 
             B7                                                                     E 
When they're runnin' down our country, man, they're walkin' on the fightin' side of me


        E                               B7
They're walkin' on the fightin' side of me
B7                                                         E
Runnin' down a way of life our men have fought and died to keep
   E                                     E7                         A
If you don't love it, leave it; Let this song that I'm singin' be a warning 
            B7                                                                     E              
When you're runnin' down our country, Hoss, you're walkin' on the fightin' side of me


I read about some squirrely guy who claims that he just don't believe in fightin'
And I wonder just how long the rest of us can count on bein' free
They love our milk and honey but they preach about some other way of livin'
When they're runnin' down our country, man, they're walkin' on the fightin' side of me

Chorus
