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