Written by Bob Dylan. This is Manfred Mann's version.
DMyA name, it E7is nothing; myA age, it means less
The country I F#mcome from is a Dpart of the free AWest
I was taught and brought F#mup there, its Dlaws to aAbide
And that the land that I Dlive Ain has E7God on its Aside
DOhA the histoE7ry books tell Ait, they tell it so well
TF#mhe cavalries chDarged, the IndianAs fell
F#mThe cavalries Dcharged, Athe Indians died
DFor tAhe counE7try was youAng with God on its side
DThAen the firE7st World War, Ait came and it went
F#mThe reason for Dfighting, I neverA could get
F#mBut I learned Dto acceptA it, accept it with pride
DAnd yAou don'E7t count theA dead when God's on your side
DThen Athe secE7ond World WAar, it came to an end
F#mWe forgave the DGermans, and now Awe are friends
F#mThough they murDdered 6 million, Ain the ovens they fried
DThe GAermans E7now too havAe God on their side
DAnd nAow we hE7ave weaponsA of chemical dust
F#mIf fire them weD're forced too, wAell then fire them we must
F#mOne push of theD button, and a shAot the world wide
DAnd yAou neveE7r ask questAions when God's on your side
DIn maAny a daE7rk hour I tAhink about this
F#mThat Jesus ChriDst was betrayed bAy a kiss
F#mBut I can't thiDnk for you; you'lAl have to decide
DWhethAer JudaE7s Iscariot Ahad God on his side
ADnd noAw as I E7leave you, AI'm weary as hell
F#mThe confusion ID'm feeling no tonAgue can tell
F#mThe words fill Dmy head and drop Ato the floor
DIf GoAd's on E7our side, hAe'll stop the next war
Manfred Mann played it on the piano so the chords
are different. Listen to their version to see what
it is like.
Overall, enjoy!
