The Fightin Side Of Me - Merle Haggard | Guitar Chords

[Intro]
---------------------
B7 | E 

[Verse 1]
---------------------
       E              B7
I hear people talking bad
             E                                   B7
About the way they have to live here in this country
Harping on the wars we fight
                                            E
And griping 'bout the way things ought to be
                      B7
And I don't mind them switching sides
    E                             B7
And standing up for things they believe in
But when they're running down our country, man
                                        E
They're walking on the fighting side of me

[Chorus (1)]
---------------------
        E                               B7
They're walking on the fighting side of me
Running down a way of life
                                         E
Our fighting men have fought and died to keep
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 fighting side of me

[Verse 2]
---------------------
B7  E               B7
  I read about some squirrely guy
    E                                         B7
Who claims that he just don't believe in fighting
And I wonder just how long
                                  E
The rest of us can count on being free
                       B7
They love our milk and honey
         E                              B7
But they preach about some other way of living
And when they're running down our country, man
                                        E
They're walking on the fighting side of me

[Chorus (2)]
---------------------
        E                               B7
They're walking on the fighting side of me
Running down a way of life
                                         E
Our fighting men have fought and died to keep
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
You're walking on the fighting side of me
C7        F                              C7
   They're walking on the fighting side of me 
Running down a way of life
                                         F
Our fighting men have fought and died to keep
If you don't love it, leave it
                       F7          Bb
Let this song that I'm singing be a warning
            C7
When you're running down our country, hoss
                                       F
You're walking on the fighting side of me
