Key: G major
Verse 1
My age, it means less.
The country I come from
is called the Midwest.
I was taught and brought up here,
it's laws to abide.
And the land that I live in
has God on its side.

ican war had its day,
C
G
C
G
The Civil War, too, was soon laid away,
C
G
And the names of the heroes
C
G
I was made to memorize
C
G
With guns in their hands
C
G

and God on their side
G

Oh, the First World War,
C

boys, closed out its fate
C

And the reason for fighting

But I learned to accept it,

all through my whole life

To hate them and fear them,
G

And accept it all bravely
G
C

with God on our side
G

But now we've got weapons
of chemical dust
We fire them, we're forced to,
G
C

One push of a button and
G
C
G
And you never ask questions
C
G
C
when God's on your side
G
C
G
That Jesus Christ was
C
G
betrayed by a kiss
C
G
But I cannot think for you,
G
C
G
Where the Judas Iscariot
C
G
had God on his side
C
G
So now I'm leaving, I'm weary as hell
The words fill my head
And if God's on our side,
he'll stop the next war.
