C F C F C F C F C

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 .
