With God On Our Side chords * Bob Dylan 1964 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/With_God_on_Our_Side_(song) [This version] C F C F C F C F C
       C          F   C
Oh, my name it is nothin'

   F            C
My age it means less

              F    C
The country I come from

   F             C
Is called the Midwest

                        F  C
It's taught and brought up there

    F        C
The laws to abide

                     F    C
And that land that I live in

    F   Em G    C
Has God on it's side.

        C             F    C
Oh, the history books tell it

     F          C   
They tell it so well

              F   C
The cavalries charged

    F       C
The Indians fell

              F   C    
The cavalries charged

    F       C
The Indians died

                    F  C
Oh, the country was young

     F   Em G    C
With God on it's side.

        C       F    C
Oh, the Spanish-American

    F        C
War had it’s day

                  F C
And the Civil War too

    F          C
Was soon laid away

                     F  C
And the names of the heroes

    F            C
I's made to memorize

                   F  C
With guns in their hands

    F   Em G    C
And God on it's side.

        C           F    C
Oh, the First World War, boys

   F              C
It closed out its fate

               F    C
The reason for fighting

  F         C
I never got straight

                 F      C
But I learned to accept it

  F            C
Accept it with pride

                        F  C
For you don't count the dead

     F    Em G    C
When Gods on it's side.

         C      F     C
When the Second World War

F          C
Came to an end

               F  C
We forgave the Germans

    F       C
And we were friends

                         F   C
Though they murdered six million

       F          C
In the ovens they fried

            F   C
The Germans now too

     F   Em G    C
Have God on it's side.

     C               F   C
I've learned to hate Russians

    F                C
All through my whole life

               F  C
If another war starts

     F            C
It's them we must fight

                 F    C
To hate them and fear them

   F          C
To run and to hide

                  F    C
And accept it all bravely

     F   Em G  C
With God on my side.

    C          F  C
But now we got weapons

       F        C
Of the chemical dust

                   F      C
If fire them we're forced to

     F            C
Then fire them we must

                F  C
One push of the button

      F              C
And a shot the world wide

                  F    C
And you never ask questions

     F     Em G    C
When God's on your side.

     C         F  C
In a many dark hour

          F              C
I've been thinkin' about this

           F   C
That Jesus Christ

      F           C
Was betrayed by a kiss

            F         C
But I can't think for you

       F         C
You'll have to decide

                F   C
Whether Judas Iscariot

    F   Em G    C
Has God on his side.

   C          F   C
So now as I'm leavin'

    F        C
I'm weary as Hell

                  F   C
The confusion I'm feelin'

         F          C
Ain't no tongue can tell

          F       C
The words fill my head

    F           C
And fall to the floor

   F            C
If God's on our side

      F    Em  G    C
He'll stop the next war
