               D A         E7    
My name, it is nothing; my age, 
        A
it means less
              F#m            D    
The country I come from is a part 
            A
of the free West
                         F#m       
I was taught and brought up there, 
    D        A
its laws to abide
                         D    A   
And that the land that I live in 
   E7         A
has God on its side

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

Continues after the ad
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
