The Spanish-American
G7 G6 G C
War's had it's day

The First World War, boys
G7 G6 G C
It came and it went
F Em G C
The reason for fighting

I never did get

But I learned to accept it

Accept it with pride

For you don't count the dead
G7 G6 G C
When God's on your side.

When the Second World War
G7 G6 G C
Came to an end

We forgave the Germans

The Germans now too
G7 G6 G C
Have God on their side.

C F Em
I've learned to hate Russians
G7 G6 G C
All through my whole life
F Em G C
If another war comes

It's them we must fight
F Em G C
To hate them and fear them

To run and to hide

And accept it all bravely
G7 G6 G C
With God on my side.

[Verse 7]

C F Em
But now we got weapons
G7 G6 G C
Of the chemical dust
F Em G C
If fire them we're forced to
F C
Then fire them we must
F Em G C
One push of the button

And a shot the world wide

And you never ask questions
G7 G6 G C
When God's on your side.

C F Em
In a many dark hour
G7 G6 G C
I've been thinkin' about this
F Em G C
That Jesus Christ
F C
Was betrayed by a kiss
F Em G C
But I can't think for you
F C
You'll have to decide
F Em
Whether Judas Iscariot
G7 G6 G C
Had God on his side.
C F Em
G7 G6 G C

[Verse 9]

C F Em
So now as I'm leavin'
G7 G6 G C
I'm weary as Hell
F Em G C
The confusion I'm feelin'
F C
Ain't no tongue can tell
F Em G C
The words fill my head
F C
And fall to the floor
F Em
If God's on our side
G7 G6 G C
He'll stop the next war.
