He's five foot two and he's six feet four
E F# BHe fights with missiles and with spears
E F# B G#mHe's all of thirty-one and he's only seventeen
He's been a soldier for a thousand years
E F# B G#mHe's a catholic, a hindu, an atheist, a jain,
E F# BA buddhist and a baptist and a jew
And he knows he shouldn't kill
B G#mAnd he knows he always will
C#m F#Kill you for me, my friend and me for you
And he's fighting for Canada, he's fighting for France
E F# B B7He's fighting for the U.S.A.
E F# B G#mHe's fighting for the Russians and he's fighting for Japan
And he thinks we'll put an end to war this way
E F# B G#mAnd he's fighting for democracy, he's fighting for the reds
E F# B B7He says it's for the peace of all
He's the one who must decide who's to live and who's to die
C#m F#And he never sees the writing on the wall
E F# B G#mBut without him how would Hitler have condemned him at Dachau
Without him Caesar would have stood alone
E F# B G#mHe's the one who gives his body as a weapon of the war
C#m F#And without him all this killing can't go on
He's the universal soldier and he really is to blame
E F# BHis orders come from far away no more
E C#mThey come from here and there and you and me
And brothers can't you see
C#mThis is not the way we put the end to war
