D G D
Oh, my name it is nothin'
G D
My age it means less
G D
The country I come from
G D
Is called the Midwest
G D
It's taught and brought up there
G D
The laws to abide
G D
And that land that I live in
G F#m A D
Has God on it's side.
D G D
Oh, the history books tell it
G D
They tell it so well
G D
The cavalries charged
G D
The Indians fell
G D
The cavalries charged
G D
The Indians died
G D
Oh, the country was young
G F#m A D
With God on it's side.
D G D
Oh, the Spanish-American
G D
War had it’s day
G D
And the Civil War too
G D
Was soon laid away
G D
And the names of the heroes
G D
I's made to memorize
G D
With guns in their hands
G F#m A D
And God on it's side.
D G D
Oh, the First World War, boys
G D
It closed out its fate
G D
The reason for fighting
G D
I never got straight
G D
But I learned to accept it
G D
Accept it with pride
G D
For you don't count the dead
G F#m A D
When Gods on it's side.
D G D
When the Second World War
G D
Came to an end
G D
We forgave the Germans
G D
And we were friends
G D
Though they murdered six million
G D
In the ovens they fried
G D
The Germans now too
G F#m A D
Have God on it's side.
D G D
I've learned to hate Russians
G D
All through my whole life
G D
If another war starts
G D
It's them we must fight
G D
To hate them and fear them
G D
To run and to hide
G D
And accept it all bravely
G F#m A D
With God on my side.
D G D
But now we got weapons
G D
Of the chemical dust
G D
If fire them we're forced to
G D
Then fire them we must
G D
One push of the button
G D
And a shot the world wide
G D
And you never ask questions
G F#m A D
When God's on your side.
D G D
In a many dark hour
G D
I've been thinkin' about this
G D
That Jesus Christ
G D
Was betrayed by a kiss
G D
But I can't think for you
G D
You'll have to decide
G D
Whether Judas Iscariot
G F#m A D
Has God on his side.
D G D
So now as I'm leavin'
G D
I'm weary as Hell
G D
The confusion I'm feelin'
G D
Ain't no tongue can tell
G D
The words fill my head
G D
And fall to the floor
G D
If God's on our side
G F#m A D
He'll stop the next war
