six feet four,
        C           D             
    he fights with missiles and 
     G
with spears.
          C             D      
    He is all of thirty-one, and 
       G        Em
he`s only seventeen,
                C           
     `s been a soldier for a

    And he`s fighting for Canada,

he`s fighting for France,
         C                D G
    he`s fighting for the USA.
              C              
    And he`s fighting for the 
  D                 G         
Russians, and he`s fighting for 
    Em
Japan,
            C                      
    and he thinks we`ll put an end 
           Am   D
to war this way.

             C               D    
    And he`s fighting for 
        G                Em
democracy, he`s fighting for the 
Reds,
        C                  D       
    he says, it`s for the peace of 
G
all.
              C             D     
    He`s the one who must decide, 
         G                Em
 who`s to live and who`s to die,
           C                       
    and he never sees the writing 
     Am     D
on the walls.

            C                
    But without him how would 
 D               G          
Hitler, have condemned him at 
     Em
Dachau,
        C               D         
    without him Caesar would have 
       G
stood alone.
              C                D  
    He`s the one who gives his 
       Bm           Em
body as a weapon to the war,
            C                      
    and without him all this 
          Am  D
killing can`t go on.

             C         D          
    He`s the universal soldier and
    G           Em
 he really is to blame,
             C               D 
    but his orders come from far 
           G
away no more,
                    C              
    they come from here, and you 
  D
and me,
        Bm                Em
    and brothers can`t you see,
             C                     
    this is not a way we put an end
   Am
 to war.
