If you prefer not to use those, simply use the same chords as the third lines (G and C).
You may also use the fifth line chords in the third lines of every verse.
Oh my name it is nothin'
My age it means less
And the country I come from
Is called the Midwest
I was taught and brought up there
The laws to abide
And that the land that I live in
Had God on its side.
Oh the history books tell it
They tell it so well
The cavalries charged
The Indians fell
The cavalries charged
The Indians died
Oh the country was young
With God on its side.
Well the Spanish-American
War had its day
And the Civil War too
Was soon laid away
And the names of the heroes
I was made to memorize
With guns in their hands
And God on their side.
Well the First World War, boys
