DA E7 A
My name, it is nothing my age, it means less
F#m D A
The country I come from is a part of the free West
F#m D A
I was taught and brought up there, its laws to abide
D A E7 A
And that the land that I live in has God on its side
DA E7 A
Oh the history books tell it, they tell it so well
F#m D A
The cavalries charged, the Indians fell
F#m D A
The cavalries charged, the Indians died
D A E7 A
For the country was young with God on its side
DA E7 A
Then the first World War, it came and it went
F#m D A
The reason for fighting, I never could get
F#m D A
But I learned to accept it, accept it with pride
D A E7 A
And you don't count the dead when God's on your side
D A E7 A
Then the second World War, it came to an end
F#m D A
We forgave the Germans, and now we are friends
F#m D A
Though they murdered 6 million, in the ovens they fried
D A E7 A
The Germans now too have God on their side
D A E7 A
And now we have weapons of chemical dust
F#m D A
If fire them we're forced too, well then fire them we must
F#m D A
One push of the button, and a shot the world wide
D A E7 A
And you never ask questions when God's on your side
D A E7 A
In many a dark hour I think about this
F#m D A
That Jesus Christ was betrayed by a kiss
F#m D A
But I can't think for you you'll have to decide
D A E7 A
Whether Judas Iscariot had God on his side
D A E7 A(decelerate
And now as I leave you, I'm weary as hell
F#m D A
The confusion I'm feeling no tongue can tell
F#m D A
The words fill my head and drop to the floor
D A E7 A
If God's on our side, he'll stop the next war
