G 
My name, means nothing,
my age, it means less.
C 
Come from a country called
G 
the Midwest,
raised and I was taught
C 
Em 
that all's too about it.
G 
The land that I come from has
D 
C 
G 
God on its side
History books tell it, they tell it so well
C 
Calvary charged, the Indians fell
G 
C 
Em 
Calvary charged, the Indians died
G 
Our country was young
D 
C 
and  had God on its side
G 
Spanish -American war had its day
C 
G 
Civil war too soon laid away
By the names of the heroes
C 
Em 
I was made to memorize
G 
D 
Guns in their hands and
C 
D 
C 
God on their side
G 
C 
First World War, boys, it came and it went
G 
And the reason for fighting
C 
G 
I never did get
But you'll learn to accept it,
C 
and accept it with pride
G 
C 
G 
Don't count the dead,
D 
G 
C 
when God's on your side
G 
The Second World War came to an end
We were fighting the Germans,
C 
G 
now they're our friends
Though they murdered six million,
C 
G 
the ovens they fried
C 
G 
Now the Germans, too,
D 
C 
D 
C 
G 
have God on their side
C 
G 
We've learned to hate the Russians
C 
G 
all through our whole life.
If another war comes,
C 
G 
they said it was them we must fight.
To hate them and fear them,
C 
G 
C 
to run and to hide
G 
Accept it all bravely,
D 
C 
with God on our side
G 
Late 1960s, came the Vietnam War
Somebody tell me,
C 
G 
what were we fighting for?
So many young men died,
C 
Em 
so many mothers cried
And I ask the question,
G 
D 
C 
G 
was God on our side?
In many a dark hour,
I've been thinkin' about this
C 
G 
That Jesus Christ is betrayed by a kiss
I can't think for you,
C 
well you'll have to decide
Em 
G 
Judas Iscariot,
D 
C 
I've got all his sight
G 
Now as I'm leaving weary as hell
Confusion
D 
C 
D 
I'm feeling no tongue can tell
C 
And the words fill my head
D 
Em 
and they fall to the floor
C 
D 
G 
But God's on our side
D 
C 
He'll stop the next war
