Oh my name it is nothin'
G7 G6 G C
My age it means less

The country I come from

Is called the Midwest

The laws to abide

And the land that I live in
G7 G6 G C
Has God on it's side.

Oh the history books tell it
G7 G6 G C
They tell it so well
F Em G C
The cavalries charged

The Indians fell

The cavalries charged

The Indians died

With God on it's side.

C F Em
The Spanish-American
G7 G6 G C
War's had it's day
F Em G C
And the Civil War too

Was soon laid away
F Em G C
And the names of the heroes

I's made to memorize

With guns on their hands
G7 G6 G C
And God on their side.

G7 G6 G C
[Verse 4]
C F Em
The First World War, boys
G7 G6 G C
It came and it went
F Em G C
The reason for fighting
F C
I never did get
F Em G C
But I learned to accept it
F C
Accept it with pride
F Em
For you don't count the dead
G7 G6 G C
When God's on your side.

G7 G6 G C
[Verse 5]
C F Em
When the Second World War
G7 G6 G C
Came to an end
F Em G C
We forgave the Germans

And then we were friends
F Em G C
Though they murdered six million
F C
In the ovens they fried
F Em
The Germans now too
G7 G6 G C
Have God on their side.

G7 G6 G C
[Verse 6]
C F Em
I've learned to hate Russians
G7 G6 G C
All through my whole life
F Em G C
If another war comes
F C
It's them we must fight
F Em G C
To hate them and fear them
F C
To run and to hide
F Em
And accept it all bravely
G7 G6 G C
With God on my side.
C F Em
G7 G6 G C
[Verse 7]
C F Em
But now we got weapons
G7 G6 G C
Of the chemical dust
F Em G C
If fire them we're forced to
F C
Then fire them we must
F Em G C
One push of the button
F C
And a shot the world wide
F Em
And you never ask questions
G7 G6 G C
When God's on your side.
C F Em
G7 G6 G C
[Verse 8]
C F Em
In a many dark hour
G7 G6 G C
I've been thinkin' about this
F Em G C
That Jesus Christ
F C
Was betrayed by a kiss
F Em G C
But I can't think for you
F C
You'll have to decide
F Em
Whether Judas Iscariot
G7 G6 G C
Had God on his side.
C F Em
G7 G6 G C
[Verse 9]
C F Em
So now as I'm leavin'
G7 G6 G C
I'm weary as Hell
F Em G C
The confusion I'm feelin'
F C
Ain't no tongue can tell
F Em G C
The words fill my head
F C
And fall to the floor
F Em
If God's on our side
G7 G6 G C
He'll stop the next war.
