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