Which Side 
words and music by Arlo Guthrie
Intro:    Bm(A)    G(A)    Bm(A)    G(A)
               Bm(A)              G(A)
There's trouble all around the world
                     Bm(A)   G(A)
Well, it looks that way to me
          Bm(A)            G(A)
People don't know what to do
                        Bm(A)        G(A)
They don't know where they should be
        Bm(A)                     G(A)
But just one question still remains
              Bm(A)    G(A)
To which we must respond
       Bm(A)         G  
Two roads lead from where we are
F#Which side are you Bmon
CHORUS:
(Which side) are Ayou Don, F#mboys
F#Which side are you Bmon
Which side are Ayou Don, F#mboys
                 F#    Bm(A)  G(A)  Bm(A)   G(A)   Bm  
Which side are you on
Moses crossed the desert
With a band of weary men
For forty years they wandered through
The hot and burning sand
And Moses went and prayed alone
The weary vagabond
And lightning wrote these words in stone
Which side are you on
CHORUS
Jesus stumbling through the streets
On the road to Calvary
Nailed high to testify
With other local thieves
And as they hung there dying
One asked what lay beyond
That all depends the master said
Which side are you on
CHORUS
Some men work for little things
And some men work for more
Some men work for anything
And some don't work at all
And me mysef I'm satisfied
To sing for God's own son
And ask you what I ask myself
Which side are you on
