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