Summer Soldier

	  		
INTRO: E A (x3) 


verse 1 

       E 
I feel sorry for the soldier who is shot and stoned in anger 
       A                               E 
I feel sorry for his wife and child at home 
       E 
I feel sorry for the bomber who all life and limb dishonors 
        A                                E 
For the people that he's maimed and left alone 


         G 
The Lord God said, "Love thy neighbor 
          A                                  E  G 
Though in human life he trades, he's still a man 


 
verse 2 

       E 
I feel sorry for the children who with open minds are willing 
   A                                 E 
To fight for ideals aging past their time 
       E 
I feel sorry for the children who will join the vicious circle 
   A                                      E 
Of instinct fear bred from their parents' minds 

 
         G 
The Lord God said, "Love thy neighbor 
          A                                  E   
Break the circle, free the hater, call him a friend 
                              A       C 
Call him a friend, call him a friend

  Em              D 
I thought I saw a summer soldier

Helmet on his brow

Beneath his armour-plated shroud
