Written by Bob Dylan

	  		Written by Bob Dylan. This is Manfred Mann's version. 

Intro: D    A    E7    A 



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 


D A         E7            A 
Oh the history books tell it, they tell it so well 
 F#m            D                A 
The cavalries charged, the Indians fell 
F#m           D        A 
The cavalries charged, the Indians died 
D    A      E7         A 
For the country was young with God on its side 


D A         E7            A 
Then the first World War, it came and it went 
F#m            D                A 
The reason for fighting, I never could get 
F#m           D        A 
But I learned to accept it, accept it with pride 
D    A      E7         A 
And you don't count the dead when God's on your side 



D    A      E7         A 
Then the second World War, it came to an end 
F#m            D                A 
We forgave the Germans, and now we are friends 
F#m            D                A 
Though they murdered 6 million, in the ovens they fried 
D    A      E7         A 
The Germans now too have God on their side 




D    A      E7         A 
And now we have weapons of chemical dust 
F#m            D                A 
If fire them we're forced too, well then fire them we must 
F#m            D                A 
One push of the button, and a shot the world wide 
D    A      E7         A 
And you never ask questions when God's on your side 




D    A      E7         A 
In many a dark hour I think about this 
F#m            D                A 
That Jesus Christ was betrayed by a kiss 
F#m            D                A 
But I can't think for you; you'll have to decide 
D    A      E7         A 
Whether Judas Iscariot had God on his side 



 D    A      E7         A (decelerate on last line): 
And now as I leave you, I'm weary as hell 
F#m            D                A 
The confusion I'm feeling no tongue can tell 
F#m            D                A 
The words fill my head and drop to the floor 
D    A      E7         A 
If God's on our side, he'll stop the next war
