Universal Soldier
(Buffy St. Marie)

CGFAm
He's five foot two, and he's six foot four, He
CGCC
fights with missiles and with spears, He's all
GDmAmF
of thirty-one and he's only seventeen, He's been
G
a soldier for a thousand years.
CGFAm
He's a Catholic, a Hindu, and Atheist, a Jain, A
CGCC
Buddhist, a Baptist, and a Jew. He knows he
GDmAm
shouldn't kill, but he knows he always will,
FG
Kill you for me, my friend, and me for you.
CGF
He's fighting for Canada, he's fighting for
AmCGCC
France, He's fighting the U.S.A. He's fighting
GDmAm
for the Russians, and he's fighting for Japan,
     
FG
And he thinks he'll put an end to war this way.
CGF
He's fighting for democracy, he's fighting for
AmCGC
the Reds, He says it's peace for all. He's the
CGDm
one who must decide who's to live and who's to
AmFG
die, And he never sees the writing on the wall.
CGF
Without him how could Hitler have condemned them
AmCG
at Dachau? Without him Caesar would have stood
CCG
alone. He's the one who gives his body as a
DmAmF
weapon of the war, And without him all this
G
killing can't go on.
CGF
He's the universal soldier and he really is to
AmCGC
blame. His orders come from far away no more.
     
CGDm
They come from him and you and me and brothers
AmF
can't you see, This is not the way to put an end
G
to war.
