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