Summer Soldier

Written by John Lees

	  		
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

tabchorus
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
