Merle Haggard (The Fightin' Side Of Me)
[Chords] 
B7 E B A C F A#
[Verse 1]
                      B7             E
I hear people talkin' bad about the way
                                B
We have to live here in this country
                B
Harpin' on the wars we fight
                                    E
Gripin' 'bout the way things oughta be
                        B
An' I don't mind 'em switchin' sides
       E                          B
An' standin' up for things they believe in
               B7                B
When they're runnin' down our country
          B7             B              E
They're walkin' on the fightin' side of me
[Chorus]
 E                                    B
Hell, walkin' on the fightin' side of me
 B7
Runnin' down a way of life
                        B                 E
Our fightin' men have fought and died to keep
If you don't love it, leave it
                                 A
Let this song I'm singin' be a warnin'
              B7               B
When you're runnin' down our country
                                        E
You're walkin' on the fightin' side of me
[Verse 2]
                     B
I read about some squirrely guy
      E                                    B
Who claims that he just don't believe in fightin'
        B7
An' I wondered just how long
                    B              E
The rest of us can count on bein' free
                        B
They love our milk an' honey
           E                              B
But they preach about some other way of livin'
When they're runnin' down our country man
                                        E
They're walkin' on the fightin' side of me
[Chorus]
                                      B
Hell, walkin' on the fightin' side of me
Runnin' down a way of life
                                          E
Our fightin' men have fought and died to keep
If you don't love it, leave it
                                      A
Let this song that I'm singin' be a warnin'
              B7               B
When you're runnin' down our country
         B7                            E
You're walkin' on the fightin' side of me
[Chorus]
 C     F                             C
Yeah walkin' on the fightin' side of me
Runnin' down a way of life
                                       F
Our fightin' men have fought, died to keep
If you don't love it, leave it
                                 A#
Let this song I'm singin' be a warnin'
              C
When you're runnin' down our country horse
                                       F
You're walkin' on the fightin' side of me
