[D][Bm][D][Bm][D][Bm][D]

[Verse 1]
Oh my [Bm]name
it ain't [D]nothin'[Bm][D]
My [A]age it means [D]less[Bm][D]
[Bm]The country [F#]I come from
Is [Bm]called the [D]Midwest
[Bm][D][Bm]
[F#]I’s taught and brought up there
[Bm]The laws [D]to [Bm]abide[D]
And that the [Bm]land that [G]I l[Bm]ive i[D]n[F#]
[A]Has God on [D]its side
[Bm]

[Verse 2]
[D]
Oh the [Bm]history [D]books tell [Bm]it[D]
[A]They tell it [D]so [Bm]well[D]
[Bm]The [F#]cavalries charged
The [Bm]Indians [D]fel[Bm]l[D]
[Bm]The [F#]cavalries charged
The In[Bm]dians [D]die[Bm]d[D]
Ah [Bm]the country was [G]young
[D]Wit[F#m]h God [F#]on it[A]s side

[Verse 3]
[D]The Spanish- American
War had its day
And the Civil [Bm]War too
Was soon laid away
And the names of the heroes
I’s made to memor[D]ize
With guns in their hands

[Verse 4]
And God on their side
[D]The [Bm]First [D]World War [Bm]boys[D]
It [A]came and [D]it [Bm]went[D]
[Bm]The reason [F#]for fightin'
I [Bm]never did [D]get[Bm][D]
But I [Bm]learned to [F#]ac cept it
Ac[Bm]cept it with [D]pride[Bm][D]
[Bm]For you don’t count [G]the [D]dead
[F#m]When G[F#]od’s[A] on
[D]your side
[Bm][D]

[Verse 5]
[Bm]The Second [D]World [Bm]War[D]
[A]Came to an [D]en [Bm]d[D]
[Bm]We f[F#]orgave the G[Bm]ermans
And then we were [D]friends[Bm][D]
[Bm]Though they murdered six [F#]million
In [Bm]the ovens they [D]fried[Bm][D]
[Bm]The Germans [G]now too
[D]Have [F#m]God[F#][A]
on [D]their side
[Bm]

[Verse 6]
[D]
But [Bm]now we got w[D]eapons[Bm][D]
Of [A]chemical [D]dust[Bm][D]
If [Bm]fire [F#]them we’re forced to
Then [Bm]fire them we [D]must[Bm][D]
One [Bm]push of [F#]the button
And [Bm]a shot the world [D]wide[Bm][D]
And ya' [Bm]never [G]ask questions
[D]Whe[F#m]n God’[F#]s on[Bm][A]
[D]your side
[Bm]

[Verse 7]
[D]
Oh [Bm]my name it ain't
[D]not[Bm]hin'[D]
My [A]age it [D]means [Bm]less[D]
[Bm]The country [F#]I come from
Is [Bm]called the Mid[D]west
[Bm]I’s taught [D]and bro[Bm]ught up [F#]there
The [Bm]laws to [D]abide[Bm][D]
And that [Bm]the land that I[G] l[D]ive in[F#]
[A]Has God on it[D]s s[Bm]ide[D]
And that the [Bm]land that
I [G]live in[D][F#m][F#]
[A]Has God on [D]its side
