[Eb] [Ab] [Eb]
This one's called [Ab] [Eb] [Bb]
[Eb] With God on Your [Ab] Side.
[Eb]
Oh, my name, it [Ab] means [Gm] nothing.
[Bb] My age, it [Eb] means less.
The [Ab]
[Eb] country I come from [Ab] is called the [Eb] Midwest.
[Ab] I was brought [Gm] up [Eb] there and taught there [Ab] the laws to [Eb] abide.
[Ab] And the land that [Abm] I [Gm] live in [Bb] has God on [Eb] its side.
All the history [Abm] books tell [Gm] it, [Bb] they tell it so [Eb] well.
[Gm] The [Eb] cavalry's charred, [Ab] the Indians [Eb] fell.
The cavalry's charred, [Ab] the Indians [Eb]
died.
Oh, the country [Abm] was young [Gm] with God [Bb] [Eb] on its side.
Oh, the Spanish [Abm] [Gm]-American
[Bb] war had [Eb] its day.
And [Ab] the [Gm] Civil War [Eb] too soon
[Ab] [Gm] laid [Eb] away.
And the names of the heroes [Ab] I was made to [Eb] memorize
With guns in [Abm] their
[Gm] hands and God [Eb] on their side.
Oh, the First [Abm] World War, [Gm]
boys, [Bb] it came [Eb] and it went.
[Ab] The [Gm] reason [Eb] for fighting [Ab] I never [Gm] [Eb] did get.
[Ab] But I [Gm] learned to [Eb] accept it, [Ab] accept [Gm] it with [Eb] pride.
For you don't count [Abm] the [Gm] dead when
[Bbm] God's on [Eb] your side.
When the Second [Ab] World [Gm] War [Bb] came to [Eb] an end,
[Abm] [Eb]
[Ab] [Gm] We forgave [Eb] the Germans [Ab] [Eb] and we were friends.
[Ab] Though they [Gm] killed [Eb] six million [Ab] and the ovens [Eb] they fried,
The Germans [Ab] now too [Gm] have [Bb] God on [Eb] their side.
[Bb] I've learned [Abm] to hate [G] Russians
[Bb] all through my [Eb] whole life.
[Ab] If another [Eb] war starts, it's them we must fight.
To [Gm] hate [Bb] them [Eb] and fear them, to run and to hide,
And accept it all [Abm] [G] bravely [Bb] with God on [Eb] my side.
[Bb]
But now we [Abm] got [Gm] weapons [Bb] of the chemical [Eb] dust.
[Abm]
[Eb] [Ab] If [Gm] fire [Eb] them we're forced to, then fire them we must.
[Abm] One [Gm] push of [Eb] the button and they shot the world wide.
And you never [Abm] ask [Gm] questions [Bb] when God's on your [Eb] side.
[Bb] In the many [Abm] dark [Gm] hours
[Bb] I've been thinking about [Eb] this,
That Jesus Christ was betrayed by a kiss.
But I can't think for you'll have to decide
Whether Judas [Ab] [Gm] Iscariot [Bb] had God on his [Eb] side.
So now as [Ab] I'm [Gm] leaving,
[Bb] I'm weary as [Eb] hell.
The confusion I'm feeling [Ab] ain't no [Bb]
tongue [Eb] can tell.
The words fill my head [Gm] and fall to the [Eb] floor.
That if God's on our [Abm]
[Gm] side, [Bb] he'll stop the [Eb] next war.
[N]
I'm
[F]
sorry I only got a few more, at least as far as I know it's the last.
I gotta sing something to tell you something.
