C                F  Em
Oh my name it is nothin'

   G7  G6 G     C
My age it means less

    F   Em  G C
The country I come from

   F             C
Is called the Midwest

    F      Em  G       C
I's taught and brought up there

    F       C
The laws to abide

                    F    Em
And the land that I live in

    G7  G6 G    C
Has God on it's side.
C F Em G7 G6 G C [Verse 2]
C                    F    Em
Oh the history books tell it

     G7   G6 G  C
They tell it so well

    F Em G    C
The cavalries charged

    F       C
The Indians fell

The cavalries charged

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

    F         C
Was soon laid away

        F     Em G   C     
And the names of the heroes

    F           C        
I's made to memorize

                   F Em
With guns on their hands

    G7  G6 G     C    
And God on their side.
C F Em 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.
C F Em 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

    F            C
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.
C F Em 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.
C F Em G7 G6 G C
