WITH GOD ON OUR SIDE
Time: 3/4
A / / D - - A - - 2 - / E7 / / A / / 2 / / 3 /
My name, it is DnoAthing; my E7age, it means Aless
The country I F#mcome from is a Dpart of the free AWest
I was taught and brought F#mup there, its Dlaws to aAbide
And that the land that I Dlive Ain has E7God on its Aside
Verse 2:
Oh the history books tell it, they tell it so well
The cavalries charged, the Indians fell
The cavalries charged, the Indians died
For the country was young with God on its side
Verse 3:
Then the first World War, it came and it went
The reason for fighting, I never could get
But I learned to accept it, accept it with pride
And you don't count the dead when God's on your side
Verse 4:
Then the second World War, it came to an end
We forgave the Germans, and now we are friends
Though they murdered 6 million, in the ovens they fried
The Germans now too have God on their side
Verse 5:
And now we have weapons of chemical dust
If fire them we're forced too, well then fire them we must
One push of the button, and a shot the world wide
And you never ask questions when God's on your side
Verse 6:
In many a dark hour I think about this
That Jesus Christ was betrayed by a kiss
But I can't think for you; you'll have to decide
Whether Judas Iscariot had God on his side
Verse 7 (decelerate on last line):
And now as I leave you, I'm weary as hell
The confusion I'm feeling no tongue can tell
The words fill my head and drop to the floor
If God's on our side, he'll stop the next war
