{title: The universal soldier}
{subtitle: Donovan}
[G7]He's [F]five feet [G]two, and he's [C]six feet [am]four, he [F]fights with [G]missiles and with
[C]spears. He is [F]all of thirty-[G]one and he's [em]only sevente[am]en's been a [F]soldier
for a [dm]thousand [G][G7]years.
[G7]He's a [F]Catholic, a [G]Hindu, an [C]Atheist, a [am]Chein, a [F]Buddhist and a [G]Babtist
and a [C]Jew, and he [F]knows, he shouldn't [G]kill, and he [em]knows he always [am]will
kill you for [F]me my friend and [dm]me for [G][G7]you.
[G7]And he's [F]fighting for [G]Canada, he's [C]fighting for [am]France, he's [F]fighting for
the [G]US[C]A, and he's [F]fighting for the [G]Russians, he's [em]fighting for [am]Japan, and
he [F]thinks we put an [dm]end to war this [G][G7]way.
[G7]And he's [F]fighting for dem[G]ocracy, he's [C]fighting for the [am]Reds, he [F]says it's
for the [G]peace of us [C]all, he's the [F]one who must de[G]cide, who's to [em]live and
who's to [am]die, and he [F]never sees [dm]the writing on the [G][G7]wall.
[G7]And with[F]out him how could [G]Hitler kill the [C]people in [am]Dachau, with[F]out
him [G]Cesar would have stood alo[C]ne. He's the [F]one who gives his [G]body as
a [em]weapon for the [am]war, and with[F]out him all this [dm]killing can't go [G][G7]on.
[G7]He's the [F]universal [G]soldier and he [C]really is to [am]blame, his [F]orders come
from [G]far away no [C]more. They come from [F]here and there and [G]you and
and [em]brothers can't you [am]see, this is [F]not the way we [dm]put an end to [G][G7]war.
