The Fighting Side Of Me
by Merle Haggard
G
I hear people talking bad
D7
About the way we have to live here in this country
Harping on the wars we fight
G
And griping about the way things oughta be
And I don't mind 'em switching sides
D7
And standing up for things they believe in
When they're running down my country man
G
They're walking on the fighting side of me
D7 G D7
Yeah they're walking on the fighting side of me
Running down the way of life
C G
Our fighting men have fought and died to keep
If you don't love it leave it
G7 C
Let this song I'm singing be a warning
D7
If you're running down my country man
G
You're walking on the fighting side of me
I read about some squirrelly guy
D7
Who claims he just don't believe in fighting
And I wonder just how long
G
The rest of us can count on being free
They love our milk and honey
D7
But they preach about some other way of living
When they're running down my country hoss
G
They're walking on the fighting side of me
