[Verse]
A E A
On this side of the law, On that side of the law,
D A D A D A D A
Who is right? Who is wrong? Who is for and who?s against the law?
A E A D A
You see, I didn't really mean you no harm,
A B7
But I simply couldn't make it on the farm.
E A
When the land won't give a lot You gotta do with what you got.
B7 E
And all I got's the muscle in my arm;
A D A
Well, I wouldn't ever hurt my fellow man.
A B7
And Mister seems to me that you could under stand.
D A B7 A
I'm just tryin' to help my self without hurtin' somebody else.
B7 E A
And a man has got to do the best he can.
E A E A
On this side of the law, On that side of the law,
D A D A D A D A
Who is right? Who is wrong? Who is for and who's against the law?

A D A
Well, I didn't mean to let my fam'ly down,
E A B7
And I'm not giving you the run a round.
A D A
I'd much rather be dead than have to beg my daily bread.
B7 E
And to pay my way no matter where I'm bound;
A D A
Well, I didn't really think that I did wrong.
A B7
Just as long I stayed here where I belong.
D A D A
I did the only thing I could, Same as anybody would.
B7 E A
Yes I was simply trying to get along.
E A E A
On this side of the law, On that side of the law,
D A D A D A D A
Who is right? Who is wrong? Who is for and who's against the law?
