 THE FIGHTIN' SIDE OF ME (Merle Haggard)
 performed by Merle Haggard (1970)
        E              B7
 I hear people talking bad
           E                                   B7
 About the way they have to live here in this country
 B7
 Harping on the wars we fight
                                       E
 Griping about the way things ought to be
 E                   B7
 I don't mind them switching sides
        E                           B7
 And standing up for things they believe in
                B7
 When they're running down our country man
                                         E
 They're walking on the fighting side of me
 
 
          E                              B7
 They're walking on the fightin' side of me
  B7
 Running down a way of life
                                           E
 Our fighting men have fought and died to keep
     E
 If you don't love it, leave it
                         E7            A
 Let this song that I'm singing be a warning
              B7
 When you're running down our country hoss
                                        E
 You're walking on the fightin' side of me
 
 
    E                B7
 I read about some squirrely guy
      E                                    B7
 Who claims that he just don't believe in fighting
        B7
 And I wonder just how long
                                    E
 The rest of us can count on being free
       E                 B7
 They love our milk and honey
          E                               B7
 But they preach about some other way of living
                   B7
 And when they're running down our country man
                                         E
 They're walking on the fightin' side of me
 
 
          E                              B7
 They're walking on the fightin' side of me
  B7
 Running down a way of life
                                           E
 Our fighting men have fought and died to keep
     E
 If you don't love it, leave it
                         E7            A
 Let this song that I'm singing be a warning
              B7
 When you're running down our country man
                                        E   C
 You're walking on the fightin' side of me
 
 
          F                              C
 They're walking on the fightin' side of me
  C
 Running down a way of life
                                           F
 Our fighting men have fought and died to keep
     F
 If you don't love it, leave it
                          F7            Bb
 Let this song that I'm singing be a warning
              C
 When you're running down our country hoss
                                        F
 You're walking on the fightin' side of me
