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