Verse:
A augmentedA            E MajorE A augmentedA
On this side of the law, On that side of the law,
D MajorD   A augmentedA   D MajorD   A augmentedA   D MajorD   A augmentedA    D MajorD         A augmentedA
Who is right? Who is wrong? Who is for and who?s against the law?
  A augmentedA   E MajorE    A augmentedA   D MajorD      A augmentedA
You see, I didn't really mean you no harm,
  A augmentedA                B7B7
But I simply couldn't make it on the farm.
   E MajorE       A augmentedA
When the land won't give a lot You gotta do with what you got.
  B7B7              E MajorE
And all I got's the muscle in my arm;
    A augmentedA       D MajorD       A augmentedA
Well, I wouldn't ever hurt my fellow man.
      A augmentedA                B7B7
And Mister seems to me that you could under stand.
  D MajorD       A augmentedA          B7B7        A augmentedA
I'm just tryin' to help my self without hurtin' somebody else.
   B7B7       E MajorE       A augmentedA
And a man has got to do the best he can.
E MajorE  A augmentedA          E MajorE  A augmentedA
On this side of the law, On that side of the law,
D MajorD   A augmentedA   D MajorD   A augmentedA    D MajorD   A augmentedA    D MajorD         A augmentedA
Who is right? Who is wrong? Who is for and who's against the law?

A augmentedA           D MajorD       A augmentedA
Well, I didn't mean to let my fam'ly down,
  E MajorE     A augmentedA         B7B7
And I'm not giving you the run a round.
  A augmentedA                D MajorD      A augmentedA
I'd much rather be dead than have to beg my daily bread.
    B7B7               E MajorE
And to pay my way no matter where I'm bound;
    A augmentedA       D MajorD        A augmentedA
Well, I didn't really think that I did wrong.
    A augmentedA             B7B7
Just as long I stayed here where I belong.
 D MajorD     A augmentedA             D MajorD     A augmentedA
I did the only thing I could, Same as anybody would.
  B7B7      E MajorE       A augmentedA
Yes I was simply trying to get along.
E MajorE  A augmentedA          E MajorE A augmentedA
On this side of the law, On that side of the law,
D MajorD   A augmentedA   D MajorD   A augmentedA    D MajorD   A augmentedA    D MajorD         A augmentedA
