Fighting Side Of Me
Merle Haggard
Intro: "B"
[E]I hear people talking bad about the way we have to live here in this c[B7]ountry.
Harpin' on the wars we fight gripin' 'bout the way things ought to [E]be.
I don't mind them switchin' sides and standin' up for things they beleive [B7]in,
When they're runnin' down my country man, they're walkin' on the fightin' side Of [E]Me.
Chorus
Y[E]ea walkin' on the fightin' side of [B7]me.
Runnin' down a way of life our fightin' men have fought and died to k[E]eep,
If you don't love it, leave it, let this song that I'm singin' be a w[A]arnin',
When you're r[B7]unnin' down my country man, you're walkin' on the fightin' side of [E]me.
Instrumental: "B"
[E]I read about some squirley guy, who claims that he just don't beleive in f[B7]ightin',
And I wonder just how long the rest of us can count on bein' f[E]ree.
They love our milk and honey but, they preach about some other way of [B7]livin',
When they're runnin' down my country hoss', they're walkin' on the fightin' side of [E]me.
Chorus
Y[E]ea walkin' on the fightin' side of [B7]me.
Runnin' down a way of life our fightin' men have fought and died to k[E]eep,
If you don't love it, leave it, let this song I'm singin' be a w[A]arnin',
When you're r[B7]unnin' down my country man, you're walkin' on the fightin' side of [E]me.
Repeat Chorus - AdvanceStep to "F"
Y[F]ea walkin' on the fightin' side of [C7]me.
Runnin' down a way of life our fightin' men have fought and died to k[F]eep,
If you don't love it, leave it, let this song I'm singin' be a w[Bb]arnin',
When you're r[C7]unnin' down my country man, you're walkin' on the fightin' side of [F]me.
