This is my interpretation of this song, acoustic guitar standard tuning.
God was never on your side – Motorhead
Em D
If the stars, fall down on me,
Am Em
And the sun, refused to shine
Em D
Then may the shackles be undone,
Am Em
May all the old words cease to rhyme
Em D
If the sky, turned into stone,
Am Em
It would matter not at all
Em D
For there is no heaven, in the sky,
Am
Hell does not wait, for our downfall
C G
Let the voice of reason shine,
Am Em
Let the pious vanish, for all time,
C G
God's face is hidden, all unseen,
Am Em
You can't ask him what it all means
C G
He was never on your side,
Am Em
God was never on your side,
C G
Let right or wrong alone decide
Am
God was never on your side.

Em D
See ten thousand ministries,
Am Em
See the holy righteous dogs
Em D
They claim to heal, but all they do is steal,
Am Em
Abuse your faith, cheat, and rob
Em D
If God is wise, why is he still,
Am Em
When these false prophets, call him friend
Em D
Why is he silent, is he blind?
Am
Are we abandoned, in the end?
C G
Let the sword of reason shine,
Am Em
Let us be free of prayer and shrine
C G
God's face is hidden, turned away,
Am Em
He never has a word to say
C G
He was never on your side,
Am Em
God was never on your side
C G
Let right or wrong, alone decide,
Am Em
God was never on your side
Em
No, No, No.
(Solo)
C G
He was never on your side,
Am Em
God was never on your side
C G
Never! Never! Never! Never!
Am
Never on your side! Never on your side!
C G
God was never on your side,
Am Em
Never on your side…
Great song, not so hard to play.
