[Bait 1]
       E              B
I hear  (E major) people talkin'  (B major) bad,
              E
About the way  (E major) they have to live
             B
here in this  (B major) country
Harpin' on the wars we fight
                                        E
And gripin' 'bout the way things oughta  (E major) be
                     B
And I don't mind 'em  (B major) switchin' sides
    E                                   B
And  (E major) standin' up for things they believe  (B major) in
But when they're runnin' down
our country, man
                                        E
They're walkin' on the fightin' side of  (E major) me

[Reff 1]
        E                               B
They're  (E major) walkin' on the fightin' side of  (B major) me
Runnin' down a way of life
                                              E
Our fightin' men have fought and died to keep  (E major)
If you don't love it, leave it
                                    A
Let this song that I'm singin' be a  (A major) warnin'
            B
When you're  (B major) runnin' down our country, hoss
                                       E
You're walkin' on the fightin' side of  (E major) me

[Interlude 1]

 (B major)  (B major)  (E major)  (E major)

[Bait 2]
  E               B
I  (E major) read about some  (B major) squirrelly guy
    E                                             B
Who  (E major) claims that he just don't believe in fightin'  (B major)
And I wonder just how long
                                       E
The rest of us can count on bein' free  (E major)
                       B
They love our milk and  (B major) honey
         E                              B
But they  (E major) preach about some other way of  (B major) livin'
But when they're runnin' down
my country, hoss
                                        E
They're walkin' on the fightin' side of  (E major) me

[Reff 2]
        E                               B
They're  (E major) walkin' on the fightin' side of  (B major) me
Runnin' down a way of life
                                              E
Our fightin' men have fought and died to keep  (E major)
If you don't love it, leave it
                                    A
Let this song that I'm singin' be a  (A major) warnin'
            B
When you're  (B major) runnin' down my country, man
                                       E
You're walkin' on the fightin' side of  (E major) me

Runnin' down a way of life
                                              F
Our fightin' men have fought and died to keep  (F major)
If you don't love it, leave it
                                    Bb
Let this song that I'm singin' be a  (B flat major) warnin'
            C
When you're  (C major) runnin' down my country, hoss
                                       F
You're walkin' on the fightin' side of  (F major) me
