    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
I's taught and brought up there
  F    C
The laws to abide
           F  C
And that land that I live in
  F     C
Has God on its 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     C
With God on its 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      C
And God on their 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       C
When God's on your 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      C
Have God on their 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     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       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     C
Had 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       C
He'll stop the next war.
