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