D A D A E

D

   D     E      A    F#m
He's five foot two and he's six feet four
  D      E         A
He fights with missiles and with spears
   D       E      A     F#m
He's all of thirty-one and he's only seventeen
      Bm           E
He's been a soldier for a thousand years
    D      E     A     F#m
He's a Catholic, a Hindu, an atheist, a Jain,
 D       E       A
A Buddhist and a Baptist and a Jew
    D         E
And he knows he shouldn't kill
    A        F#m
And he knows he always will
       Bm            E
Kill you for me, my friend and me for you

     D      E      A      F#m
And he's fighting for Canada, he's fighting for France
   D        E  A A7
He's fighting for the U.S.A.
   D        E         A      F#m
He's fighting for the Russians and he's fighting for Japan
    Bm                 E
And he thinks we'll put an end to war this way
     D      E        A        F#m
And he's fighting for democracy, he's fighting for the reds
  D         E    A A7
He says it's for the peace of all
     D       E       A         F#m
He's the one who must decide who's to live and who's to die
    Bm              E
And he never sees the writing on the wall

    D         E       A        F#m
But without him how would Hitler have condemned him at Dachau
  D       E         A A7
Without him Caesar would have stood alone
     D         E     A       F#m
He's the one who gives his body as a weapon of the war
    Bm                E
And without him all this killing can't go on

     D     E       A      F#m
He's the universal soldier and he really is to blame
  D        E      A
His orders come from far away no more
        D         E
They come from here and there and you and me



  A         F#m
And brothers can't you see
    Bm              E
This is not the way we put the end to war
