This is my interpretation of this song, acoustic guitar standard tuning.
God was never on your side – Motorhead
[Verse 1]
EmIf the stars, fall Ddown on me,
AmAnd the sun, reEmfused to shine
EmThen may the shackles be Dundone,
AmMay all the old words Emcease to rhyme
EmIf the sky, turned Dinto stone,
AmIt would matter noEmt at all
EmFor there is no heaven, Din the sky,
AmHell does not wait, for our downfall
[Pre-Chorus]
CLet the voice of reGason shine,
AmLet the pious vanish, Emfor all time,
CGod's face is hidden, Gall unseen,
AmYou can't ask him what Emit all means
[Chorus]
CHe was never on yGour side,
AmGod was never on Emyour side,
CLet right or wrong alGone decide
AmGod was never on your side.
[Verse 2]
EmSee ten thousand mDinistries,
AmSee the holy righEmteous dogs
EmThey claim to heal, but all Dthey do is steal,
AmAbuse your faith, Emcheat, and rob
EmIf God is wise, whDy is he still,
AmWhen these false prophets, Emcall him friend
EmWhy is he silent, Dis he blind?
AmAre we abandoned, in the end?
[Pre-Chorus]
CLet the sword of rGeason shine,
AmLet us be free of Emprayer and shrine
CGod's face is hidden, Gturned away,
AmHe never has a Emword to say
[Chorus]
CHe was never on Gyour side,
AmGod was never on Emyour side
CLet right or wrong, Galone decide,
AmGod was never on Emyour side
EmNo, No, No.
[Solo]
[Chorus]
CHe was never on Gyour side,
AmGod was never on Emyour side
CNever! Never! GNever! Never!
AmNever on your side! Never on your side!
CGod was never on Gyour side,
AmNever on your Emside…

God was never on your side – Motorhead

[Verse 1]

Em D

If the stars, fall down on me,

Am Em

And the sun, refused to shine

Em D

Then may the shackles be undone,

Am Em

May all the old words cease to rhyme

Em D

If the sky, turned into stone,

Am Em

It would matter not at all

Em D

For there is no heaven, in the sky,

Hell does not wait, for our downfall

[Pre-Chorus]

C G

Let the voice of reason shine,

Am Em

Let the pious vanish, for all time,

C G

God's face is hidden, all unseen,

Am Em

You can't ask him what it all means

[Chorus]

C G

He was never on your side,

Am Em

God was never on your side,

C G

Let right or wrong alone decide

God was never on your side.

[Verse 2]

Em D

See ten thousand ministries,

Am Em

See the holy righteous dogs

Em D

They claim to heal, but all they do is steal,

Am Em

Abuse your faith, cheat, and rob

Em D

If God is wise, why is he still,

Am Em

When these false prophets, call him friend

Em D

Why is he silent, is he blind?

Are we abandoned, in the end?

[Pre-Chorus]

C G

Let the sword of reason shine,

Am Em

Let us be free of prayer and shrine

C G

God's face is hidden, turned away,

Am Em

He never has a word to say

[Chorus]

C G

He was never on your side,

Am Em

God was never on your side

C G

Let right or wrong, alone decide,

Am Em

God was never on your side

No, No, No.

[Solo]

[Chorus]

C G

He was never on your side,

Am Em

God was never on your side

C G

Never! Never! Never! Never!

Never on your side! Never on your side!

C G

God was never on your side,

Am Em

Never on your side…
