[B] [Bm] [Abm] [B]
[E]
I hear people [B] talking bad about [E] the way we have to live here [B] in this country.
Harping on wars we fight and griping about the way things [E] ought to be.
And I don't [B] mind them switching sides [E] and standing up for things they [B] believe in.
When they're running down my country, man, they're walking on the fighting [E] side of me.
Yeah, walking on the fighting [B] side of me.
Running down the way of life, I'm fighting it hard and [E] dirty.
If you don't love it, leave it, let this song I'm singing [A] be a warning.
[B] You're running down my country, man, you're walking on the [Gb] fighting [E] side of me.
[B] [Bm]
[B] [E]
I read about some [B] squirrely guy who [E] claims he just don't believe in [B] fighting.
And I wonder just how long the rest of us can count on being [E] free.
They love our milk [B] and honey, but they [E] preach about some other way [B] of living.
When they're running down my country, horse, they're walking on the fighting side [E] of me.
Yeah, walking on the fighting [A] [B] side of me.
Running down the way of life, I'm fighting it hard and [E] dirty.
If you don't love it, leave it, let this song I'm singing be [A] a warning.
When [B] you're running down my country, man, you're walking on the fighting [E] side of me.
[C] Yeah, [F] walking on the fighting side [C] of me.
Running down the way of life, I'm fighting it hard and dirty.
[F]
If you don't love it, leave it, let this song I'm singing [A] be a [Bb] warning.
[B] When [C] you're running down my country, man, you're walking on the fighting side [F] of me.
