                     First Aid Kit - Universal Soldier

E|E|------------------------------

E|---------------|| 

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.

He's five foot-two, and he's six

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

       C            G

  F                             G
A Buddhist, and a Muslim, and a Jew
       C                  G       
And he knows he shouldn't kill, 
     C               Am
and he knows he always will
     F                             
Kill you for me, my friend, and me 
    G
for you

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

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

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

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