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 C#m E 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 C#m E 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 C#m E 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 C#m E 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 C#m E 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 C#m E 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 C#m E 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 C#m E 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 C#m E A
He'll stop the next war
