Capo II
D MajorD A augmentedA D MajorD A augmentedA E MajorE
D MajorD
D MajorD E MajorE A augmentedA F# minorF#m
He's five foot two and he's six feet four
D MajorD E MajorE A augmentedA
He fights with missiles and with spears
D MajorD E MajorE A augmentedA F# minorF#m
He's all of thirty-one and he's only seventeen
B minorBm E MajorE
He's been a soldier for a thousand years
D MajorD E MajorE A augmentedA F# minorF#m
He's a Catholic, a Hindu, an atheist, a Jain,
D MajorD E MajorE A augmentedA
A majorA Buddhist and a Baptist and a Jew
D MajorD E MajorE
And he knows he shouldn't kill
A augmentedA F# minorF#m
And he knows he always will
B minorBm E MajorE
Kill you for me, my friend and me for you
D MajorD E MajorE A augmentedA F# minorF#m
And he's fighting for Canada, he's fighting for France
D MajorD E MajorE A augmentedA A7A7
He's fighting for the U.S.A.
D MajorD E MajorE A augmentedA F# minorF#m
He's fighting for the Russians and he's fighting for Japan
B minorBm E MajorE
And he thinks we'll put an end to war this way
D MajorD E MajorE A augmentedA F# minorF#m
And he's fighting for democracy, he's fighting for the reds
D MajorD E MajorE A augmentedA A7A7
He says it's for the peace of all
D MajorD E MajorE A augmentedA F# minorF#m
He's the one who must decide who's to live and who's to die
B minorBm E MajorE
And he never sees the writing on the wall
D MajorD E MajorE A augmentedA F# minorF#m
But without him how would Hitler have condemned him at Dachau
D MajorD E MajorE A augmentedA A7A7
Without him Caesar would have stood alone
D MajorD E MajorE A augmentedA F# minorF#m
He's the one who gives his body as a weapon of the war
B minorBm E MajorE
And without him all this killing can't go on
D MajorD E MajorE A augmentedA F# minorF#m
He's the universal soldier and he really is to blame
D MajorD E MajorE A augmentedA
His orders come from far away no more
D MajorD E MajorE
They come from here and there and you and me
A augmentedA F# minorF#m
And brothers can't you see
B minorBm E MajorE
This is not the way we put the end to war
