Ballad with no chorus or Verses

Intro C Dm G C Dm G

F G C Am
He's five foot two and he's six feet four
F G C
He fights with missiles and with spears
F G C Am
He's all of thirty-one and he's only seventeen
F Dm G
He's been a soldier for a thousand years
F G C Am
He's a Catholic, a Hindu, an Atheist, a Jane
F G C
A Buddhist a Baptist and Jew
F G C Am
He knows he shouldn't kill but he knows he always will
F Dm G
kill you my friend for me and me for you
F G C Am
He's fighting for Canada, he's fighting for France
F G C
He's fighting for the U S A
F G C Am
He's fighting for the Russians and he's fighting for Japan
F Dm G
And he thinks he'll put an end to war that way
F G C Am
And he's fighting for democracy he's fighting for the reds
F G C
He says it's for the peace of all
F G C Am
He's the one who must decide who's to live and who's to die
F Dm G
And he never sees the writing on the wall
F G C Am
But without him how could Hitler have condemned him at Dachau
F G C
Without him Caesar would have stood alone
F G C Am
He's the one who gives his body as the weapon of the war
F Dm G
And without him all this killing can't go on
F G C Am
Yes He's the universal soldier and he really is to blame
F G C
But his orders come from far away no more
F G C Am
They come from him and you and me and brothers can't you see
F C Dm
This is not the way we put an end to war?
