Introdução: C D Bm Em C Am D
C D G Em
He is five feet two, and he`s six feet four,
C D G
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
`s been a soldier for a thousand years.
C D G Em
He`s a Catholic, a Hindu, and 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 you for me, my friend, 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 USA.
C D G Em
And he`s fighting for the Russians, and he`s fighting for Japan,
C Am D
and he thinks we`ll 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 walls.
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 Bm Em
He`s the one who gives his body as a weapon to the war,
C Am 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
but his orders come from far away no more,
C D
they come from here, and you and me,
Bm Em
and brothers can`t you see,
C Am
this is not a way we put an end to war.
