With God On Our Side

[C F C F C F G F C] 
 
[C]Oh my name it is [F]no[G]thin‘ my age [F]it mean [C]less 
The country I come from [F]is called the Mid[C]west 
I‘s taught and brought up there [F]The laws to [C]abide 
and that land that I [F]li[G]ve in Has god [F]on its [C]side. 
 
Oh the history book [F]tell i[G]t they tell it [F]so [C]well 
The cavalries charged and [F]the Indians [C]fell 
The cavalries charged and [F]the Indians [C]died 
Oh the country was [F]yo[G]ung with god [F]on its [C]side. 
 
Oh the Spanish-[F]Ameri[G]can war had [F]its [C]day 
And the Civil War too was [F]soon laid [C]away 
and the names of the heroes [F]I was made to [C]memorize 
with guns in their [F]ha[G]nds and god [F]on their [C]side. 
 
The First World [F]War, [G]boys it closed out [F]its [C]fate 
The reason for fighting [F]I never got straig[C]t 
but I learned to accept it, [F]accept it with [C]pride 
and you don‘t count the [F]de[G]ad when god‘s on [F]your [C]side.

But now we got [F]wea[G]pons of the chemic[F]al [C]dust 
if fire them we‘re forced to, [F]then fire we [C]must 
one push of the button [F]and shot the world [C]wide 
and you never ask [F]quest[G]ions when God‘s [F]on his [C]side 
 
[ Repeat without words ] 
 
In a many dark [F]hou[G]r I‘ve been thinkin‘ ab[F]out [C]this 
that Jesus Christ was [F]betrayed by a [C]kiss 
But I can‘t think for you, [F]you‘ll have to [C]decide 
wheter Judas Is[F]cari[G]ot, had God [F]on [C]his side. 
 
So now as I‘m [F]leavi[G]n‘, I‘m [F]weary as [C]hell 
the confusion I‘m feelin‘ [F]ain‘t no tongue can [C]tell 
Who words fill my head and [F]fall to the [C]floor 
If God‘s on [F]our si[G]de he‘ll stop [F]the next [C]war.

When the Second World War came to an end 
we forgave the Germans and we were friends 
Though they murdered six million in the ovens they fried 
the Germans now too have god on their side. 
 
I‘ve learned to hate Russians all through my wole life 
if another war starts It‘s them we must fight 
To hate them and fear them to run and to hide 
and accept i all bravely with god on our side.
