[Bb] _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ [E] Perhaps one of the problems in the world today is that every country thinks it has God [Bb] on its side.
And as long as [G] everybody struts about with that [Gm] attitude, it isn't going to [Bb] work. _
I don't think [G] God could be [Bb] inside of anybody who's dropping bombs.
_ _ _ _ Bob Dylan wrote a song which says it, _ which really says it. _ _
Oh my name it [Eb] is _ [Dm] nothing.
_ _ [F] My age [Gm] it means less.
_ [Bb] _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ It's cold on Midwest. _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
[Eb] The [Bb] laws to _ abide. _
_ And that the land that I [Eb] _ [D] live _ [Dm] in [F] has God [Bb] on its side.
_ _ _ Are the history [Eb] books _ [Dm] telling?
_ _ [F] They tell it [Bb] so well.
_ _ _ _ _ [Eb]
The [Bb] cavalry's _ _ _ _ troops, [Eb] the [Bb] Indians fell. _ _
_ [Gm] The [Bb] cavalry, _ _ _ _ _ _ [Eb] the [Bb] Indians died.
_ _ _ Are the country [Eb] was not _ [Dm] _ with _ [F] God [Bb] on its side? _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ The Spanish [Eb] _ _ [Dm]
-American _ _ [F] war [Bb] had its day.
_ _ [Gm] And the Civil [Bb]
War too was _ [Eb] _
[Bb] soon laid away. _ _ _
And the names of _ _ _ those [Eb] I was made to [Bb] memorize. _ _ _
_ With guns in [Eb] their _ [Dm] hands _ _ and God [Bb] on their [G] _
side.
[Bb] _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ First world [Eb] _ [Dm] war _ it [F] came [Bb] and it _ _ went.
_ [Gm]
The reason [Bb] for my, _ _ _ _ [Eb] I never, [Bb] _ _ _ _ _
_ _ [Gm] alone [Bb] to say. _ _
_ _ _ [Eb] _ [Bb] Accepted with _ pride.
_ _ Though you don't [Eb] count the _
[Dm] dead.
_ _ When God's [Bb] on your side. _ _ _ _ _
_ _ And the second [Eb] world _ [Dm]
war, _ _ it came to an end.
_ _ [Bb] _ [Eb] We [Bb] forgave the Jews _ _ _ _ _ [Eb] and then we [Bb] were friends.
_ _ Though they murdered six men, _ _ _ [Eb] in the ovens [Bb] they froth. _ _ _
_ How the Germans [Eb] now too [Dm] _ _
_ _ [F] have God [Bb] on their side. _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _
Well I've learned to [Eb] hate [Dm] friends _ _
_ [F] all through [Gm] my whole life.
_ [Bb] _
_ _ [Gm] If another [Bb] war _ _ _ _ _ [Eb] comes then we [Bb] must _ fight.
_ _ [Gm] To hate them and fear, _ _ _ [Eb] to run and [Bb] to _ hide.
_ _ And accept it [Eb] all _ [D] _ bravely, [Dm] _
with God [Bb] on my _ side. _ _
_ _ _ _ _ And now we've [Eb] got _ [Dm] _ weapons, all the [Bb] chemical _ _ _ dust.
If all of them were for a suit, _ _
_ [Eb] fire then [Bb] we must. _ _ _
_ One push of the button _ _ _ _ [Eb] and it shot the [Bb] world away. _
_ _ _ And you never ask _
[Dm] _ questions, _ when God's on your [Bb] _ _ side. _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ For many [Eb] dark [Dm] hours _ _ _ [F] I've [Bb] thought about this. _ _
_ [Gm] _ [Bb] Jesus Christ _ _ _ [Eb] was betrayed [Bb] by _ _ a kiss.
[Eb] _ _ [G] _ [Bb] _ _
_ _ _ _ [Eb] You've got [Bb] to _ decide, _ _ whether Judas [Eb] _ _ [Dm] _ Iscariot _ [F] had God [Bb] on his side. _ _ _ _
And now as [Eb] I'm _ [Dm] leaving, _ _
[F] I'm weary [Bb] as hell. _ _
_ _ [Eb] _ _ [Bb] _ _ _ _
_ _ [Eb] Ain't no [Bb] tongue can _ _ tell, _ [Eb] _ _ [Bb] _ _
_ _ _ _ _ [Eb] they fall [Bb] to the floor.
_ _ _ That if God is [Eb] on [Dm] our side, _ [F] he'll stop [Gm] the next war. _ _ _
