WITH GOD ON OUR SIDE
written by Bob Dylan

Time: 3/4
A / / D - - A - - 2 - / E7 / / A / / 2 / / 3 /
D A E7 A
My name, it is nothing; my age, it means less
F#m D A
The country I come from is a part of the free West
F#m D A
I was taught and brought up there, its laws to abide
D A E7 A
And that the land that I live in 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
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
