MI FA# SI SOL#m
He's five foot two and he's six feet four
MI FA# SI
He fights with missiles and with spears
MI FA# SI SOL#m
He's all of thirty-one and he's only seventeen
DO#m FA#
He's been a soldier for a thousand years
MI FA# SI SOL#m
He's a catholic, a hindu, an atheist, a jain,
MI FA# SI
A buddhist and a baptist and a jew
MI FA#
And he knows he shouldn't kill
SI SOL#m
And he knows he always will
DO#m FA#
Kill you for me, my friend and me for you
MI FA# SI SOL#m
And he's fighting for Canada, he's fighting for France
MI FA# SI SI7
He's fighting for the U.S.A.
MI FA# SI SOL#m
He's fighting for the Russians and he's fighting for Japan
DO#m FA#
And he thinks we'll put an end to war this way
MI FA# SI SOL#m
And he's fighting for democracy, he's fighting for the reds
MI FA# SI SI7
He says it's for the peace of all
MI FA# SI SOL#m
He's the one who must decide who's to live and who's to die
DO#m FA#
And he never sees the writing on the wall
MI FA# SI SOL#m
But without him how would Hitler have condemned him at Dachau
MI FA# SI SI7
Without him Caesar would have stood alone
MI FA# SI SOL#m
He's the one who gives his body as a weapon of the war
DO#m FA#
And without him all this killing can't go on
MI FA# SI SOL#m
He's the universal soldier and he really is to blame
MI FA# SI
His orders come from far away no more
MI DO#m
They come from here and there and you and me
SI SOL#m
And brothers can't you see
DO#m
This is not the way we put the end to war
