   C      D       G    Em
He's five feet two, and he's six feet four,
  C     D        G (strum D string 2th fret and opened)
He fights with missiles and with spears.
    C      D       G    Em
He is all of thirty-one, and he's only seventeen.
     C        Am   D
Been a soldier for thousand years.



    C      D     G     Em
He's a Catholic, a Hindu, an atheist, a Jain,
 C        D       G
A Buddhist and a Baptist and a Jew.
    C         D      G        Em
And he knows, he shouldn't kill, and he knows he always will.
     C          Am    D
Kill for me my friend and and me for you.



     C      D      G       Em
And he's fighting for Canada, he's fighting for France.
   C        D  G
He's fighting for the U.S.A.
     C        D          G      Em
And he's fighting for the Russians, and he's fighting for Japan,
    C        Am        D
And he thinks we put an end to war this way.



     C        D      G        Em
And he's fighting for democracy, he's fighting for the Reds.
  C         D     G
He says it's for the peace of all.
     C        D       G         Em
He's the one who must decide, who's to live and who's to die,
    C       Am       D
And he never sees the writing on the wall.



    C         D         G      Em
But without him, how would Hitler have condemned him at Dachau,
    C      D         G
Without him Caesar would have stood alone.
     C        D     G       Em
He's the one who gives his body as a weapon of the war,
    C        D        G    D
and without him all this killing can't go on.



     C       D      G      Em
He's the universal soldier and he really is to blame,
    C       D      G
His orders come from far away, no more.
         C         D
They come from here and there, and you and me,
   G         Em
And brothers, can't you see,
     C              D
