I hear people [B] talking bad about the way [E] we have to live here
[B]
Harping on the words we fight, griping about the way things ought to [E] be
I don't mind them switching sides [E] and standing up to things they [B] believe in
When they're running down our countrymen, 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, our fighting men have fought and [E] died and won
If you don't love it, leave it, let the song that I'm singing [A] be a warning
When [B] you're running down our countrymen, you're walking on the fighting [E] side of me
[Abm] [A]

I read about some squirty guy who claims that he just don't [B] believe in fate

And when they're tearing down our countrymen, they're walking on the fighting [E] side of me
