[Strophe]
       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
[Refrain]
        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

[Strophe]
  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
[Refrain]
        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
[Refrain]
       F                               C7 
You're walkin' on the fightin' side of me

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
