He's five foot two, and he's six feet four
   C              D              G
He fights with missiles and with spears
     C             D             Bm        Em                   (Donovan: Bm -> G)
He's all of thirty-one, and he's only seventeen
       C       d     c   b    Am     D
Been a soldier for a thousand years

He'a a Catholic, a Hindu, an Atheist, a Jain
A Buddhist and a Baptist and a Jew
And he knows he shouldn't kill, and he knows he always will
Kill you for me my friend and me for you

And he's fighting for Canada, he's fighting for France
He's fighting for the USA
And he's fighting for the Russians, and he's fighting for Japan
And he thinks we'll put an end to war this way

And he's fighting for Democracy, he's fighting for the Reds
He says it's for the peace of all
He's the one who must decide who's to live and who's to die
And he never sees the writing on the wall

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

He's the Universal Soldier and he really is to blame
But his orders come from far away no more
They come from here and there and you and me  (ral.)  and brothers can't you see
This is not the way we put an end to war
