[Verse 1]
G C Bm Oh my name it is nothin' D G My age it means less Em C D G And the country I come from C G Is called the Midwest Em C D G I was taught and brought up there C G The laws to abide C Bm And that the land that I live in D G Has God on its side
[Verse 2]
C Bm Oh, the history books tell it D G They tell it so well Em C D G The cavalries charged C G The Indians fell Em C D G The cavalries charged C G The Indians died C Bm Oh, the country was young D G With God on its side
[Verse 3]
C Bm The Spanish-American D G War had its day Em C D G And the Civil War too C G Was soon laid away Em C D G And the names of the heroes C G I was made to memorize C Bm With guns in their hands D G And God on their side
[Verse 4]
C Bm Well, the First World War, boys D G It came and it went Em C D G And the reason for fighting C G I never did get Em C D G But I learned to accept it C G And accept it with pride C Bm For you don't count the dead D G When God's on your side
[Verse 5]
C Bm And the Second World War D G It came to an end Em C D G We forgave the Germans C G And called them our friends Em C D G Though they murdered six million C G In the ovens they fried C Bm Now the Germans now too D G Have God on their side
[Verse 6]
C Bm Well I've learned to hate Russians D G All through my whole life Em C D G If another war comes C G It's them we must fight Em C D G To hate them and fear them C G To run and to hide C Bm And accept it all bravely D G With God on my side
[Verse 7]
C Bm But now we’ve got weapons D G Of the chemical dust Em C D G And if fire them we're forced to C G Then fire them we must Em C D G One push of the button C G And a shot the world wide C Bm And you never ask questions D G When God's on your side
[Verse 8]
C Bm For many dark hours D G I've thought about this Em C D G That Jesus Christ C G Was betrayed by a kiss Em C D G But I can't think for you C G You'll have to decide C Bm Whether Judas Iscariot D G Had God on his side
[Verse 9]
C Bm And now as I'm leavin' D G I'm weary as hell Em C D G The confusion I'm feelin' C G Ain't no tongue can tell Em C D G The words fill my head C G They fall to the floor C Bm If God is on our side D G He'll stop the next war
