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