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?
