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