Universal Soldier

Intro: Em 


 
     C         D             Em 
He's five feet two, and he's six feet four 
   C                    D        Em 
He fights with missiles and with spears 
     C             D             Em 
He's all of thirty-one, and he's only seventeen 
            C                      Am    D 
He's been a soldier for a thousand years 


Instrumental: Em 
 

 
       C           D         Em 
He's a Catholic, a Hindu, an Atheist, a Jain 
  C               D              Em 
A Buddhist, and a Baptist, and a Jew 
       C                  D            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 


Instrumental: Em 
 

 
         C           D            Em 
And he's killing for Canada, he's killing for France 
     C               D Em 
He's killing for the USA 
         C               D                  Em 
And he's killing for the Russians, and he's killing for Japan 
       C                                   Am  D 
And he thinks we'll put an end to war this way 


Instrumental: Em 
 

 
         C              D             Em 
And he's fighting for democracy, he's fighting for the Reds 
   C                 D           Em 
He says it's for the pace of us all 
         C              D             Em 
He's the on who must decide who's to live and who's to die 
       C                             Am   D 
And he never sees the writing on the wall 


Instrumental: Em  

 
        C                  D              Em 
But without him, how would Hitler have condemned him at Dachau? 
    C               D                 Em 
Without him, Caesar would have stood alone 
         C                 D         Em 
He's the one who gives his body as a weapon of the war 
        C                              Am    D 
And without him all this killing can't go on 


Instrumental: Em  

 
         C         D               Em 
He's the universal soldier, and he rarely is to blame 
    C                D            Em 
His orders come from far away, no more 
               C                   D 
They come from here and there, and you and me 
    Em 
And brothers, can't you see? 
        C              Am 
This is not the way we put the end to war
