A        C             D            G            A      C   D   C
Everyone knows I'm the hard workin' peace lovin' type
         A              C          D
I walk a thousand miles out of my way
        G           A       C   D  C
Just to keep from a fight
     A          C          G
Poke fun at the way that I talk
        D          A      C   D   C
Or this hat that I wear
        A            C          D
You can say what you want about me
G        A     C    D
See if I care

Chorus:
        A           D               G           D
But one slip of the tongue 'bout my God Or my mama
        A           G          D
Or this flag that I wear on my shirt
             A          C
You'll see a side of me man
       D               A
That I don't think you wanna
      G            D        A      C   D        A   C   D
Cause them there's fightin' words

Verse 2:
    A            C
Now don't get me wrong
             D            G          A      C   D   C
I've swapped skin now and then in my youth
      A          C          D         G           A     C   D   C
I was all for an eye for an eye and a tooth for a tooth
        A       C
Now the older I get
         D       G            A     C  D  C
The less I wanna stand toe to toe
    A             C            D
But before you go runnin' your mouth
        G          A     C  D
I think you oughta know

Chorus:
        A           D               G           D
But one slip of the tongue 'bout my God Or my mama
        A           G          D
Or this flag that I wear on my shirt
             A          C
You'll see a side of me man
       D               A
That I don't think you wanna
      G            D        A      C   D        A   C   D
Cause them there's fightin' words

Bridge:
E
Chevrolet or Ford

The south or the north
D                       A
That ain't gonna get me worked up
E
But I'll draw the line
                  D                          E
Everytime when it comes to the things that I love

Chorus 2:
       A           C               G
So one slip of the tongue 'bout my dog
      D
Or my woman
        A            G         D
Or this country that I proudly serve
             A          C
You'll see a side of me man
         D               A
That you damn sure don't wanna
      G            D        A      C  D     A  C  D
Cause them there's fightin' words

                      A      C   D
Yeah, them's fightin' words
           A               C    D     A
Ahh them's fightin' words, Hoss

(this pattern repeats during the spoken part below)

Excuse me
First amendment?
Son, the first amendment protects you from the government
Not from me
You can say whatever you want to out there
You come within reach of me
I'll exercise my right to give you a good ol' country ass whoopin'
Is what I'll do
Alright
