Universal Soldier

Biography:

Banda sueca de indie pop y folk formada en 2007. El dúo formado por las hermanas Johanna y Klara Söderberg. La primera puesta de largo de estas suecas tras su primer EP en 2008, Drunken Trees, se llama The Big Black And The Blue, un trabajo que se apoya en las dos voces de las hermanas y una guitarra, todo muy íntimo y recogido. Un disco perfecto para una noche de sofá, taza de té, un buen libro y First Aid Kit ambientando el momento.

First Aid Kit - Universal Soldier

I haven't seen any tabs for First Aid Kit's spin on Universal Soldier yet, so I decided to attempt one.
It seems accurate to me but suggestions for improvement are welcome.

Standard tuning, capo 8th fret.

Here is the picking pattern in relation to the chords, repeat this for the entire song.

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

C G C Am
He's a Christian, a Hindu, an Atheist, a Jain,
F G
A Buddhist, and a Muslim, and a Jew
C G C Am
And he knows he shouldn't kill, and he knows he always will
F G
Kill you for me, my friend, and me for you

C G C Am
And he's fighting for Palestine, he's fighting for Israel
F G
He's fighting for the USA
C G C Am
And he's fighting for the Russians, and he's fighting for Iraq
F G
And he thinks we'll put an end to war this way

C G C Am
And he's fighting for Democracy, he's fighting for his soil
F G
He says: "It's for the peace of all"
C G C Am
He's the one who must decide who's to live and who's to die
F G
And he never sees the writing on the wall

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

C G C Am G C (2x)

C G C Am
He's the universal soldier, and he really is to blame
F G
His orders come from far away no more
C G
They come from here and there, and you and me
C Am
And brother, can't you see
F G
This is not the way we put an end to war...
C G C
No...
