Intro:
G Dsus4 G6 G7 G
My name it ain't GnotDsus4hing, my age it means lGess
The cDsus4ountry I cG6ome fG7rom is called southwGest
I was Dsus4taught and brought G6up tG7here, the laws to abGide
And the land that I lG6ive G7in had God on its sGide
GOh the history books Dsus4tell it, they tell it so wGell
The caDsus4valries chG6arged G7and the indians fGell
The caDsus4valries chG6arged G7and the indians dGied
Oh the country was yoG6ung wG7ith God on its sGide
GAnd now we've got wDsus4eapons of chemical dGust
If Dsus4fire them we're foG6rced G7to, then fire we mGust
One Dsus4push of the G6buttG7on and shock the world wGide
I never ask qG6uestiG7ons when God's on your sGide
GFor many Dsus4long hours I've been thinkin' about tGhis
ThDsus4at JesuG6s ChG7rist was betrayed by a kGiss
Now I Dsus4can't think G6for G7you, you'll have to decGide
Whether Judas G6IscariG7ot, had God on his sGide

Intro:

G Dsus4 G6 G7 G

G Dsus4 G

My name it ain't nothing, my age it means less

Dsus4 G6 G7 G

The country I come from is called southwest

Dsus4 G6 G7 G

I was taught and brought up there, the laws to abide

G6 G7 G

And the land that I live in had God on its side

G Dsus4 G

Oh the history books tell it, they tell it so well

Dsus4 G6 G7 G

The cavalries charged and the indians fell

Dsus4 G6 G7 G

The cavalries charged and the indians died

G6 G7 G

Oh the country was young with God on its side

G Dsus4 G

And now we've got weapons of chemical dust

Dsus4 G6 G7 G

If fire them we're forced to, then fire we must

Dsus4 G6 G7 G

One push of the button and shock the world wide

G6 G7 G

I never ask questions when God's on your side

G Dsus4 G

For many long hours I've been thinkin' about this

Dsus4 G6 G7 G

That Jesus Christ was betrayed by a kiss

Dsus4 G6 G7 G

Now I can't think for you, you'll have to decide

G6 G7 G

Whether Judas Iscariot, had God on his side
