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 ought to be
E                 A                   E                             B7
I don't mind them switchin' sides and standin' up for things they believe in 
             B7                                                                     E   B E 
When they're runnin' down our country, man, 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                                     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

[Verse]
        E         A                 E                                    B7
I read about some squirrely guy 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                      A              E                              B7
They love our milk and honey but they preach about some other way of livin'
             B7                                                                     E   B E 
When they're runnin' down our country, man, 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                                     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

        F                               C7
They'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                                     F7                         Bb
If you don't love it, leave it; Let this song that I'm singin' be a warning 
            C7                                                                     F              
When you're runnin' down our country, Hoss, you're walkin' on the fightin' side of me
            C7                                                                     F              
When you're runnin' down our country, Hoss, you're walkin' on the fightin' side of me
