Buffy Sainte-Marie* (1964  It's My Way)

Capo I

C D G Em  C G D

     C         D            G        Em
He's five feet two and he's six feet four
   C           D                 G
He fights with missiles and with spears
     C             D            G         Em
He's all of thirty-one and he's only seventeen
            C             Am       D
He's been a soldier for a thousand years

       C           D         G          Em
He's a Catholic, a Hindu, an atheist, a Jain
  C              D             G
A Buddhist and a Baptist and a Jew
       C                  D           G               Em
And he knows he shouldn't kill and he knows he always will kill
        C                Am     D
You for me my friend and me for you

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

         C            D              G                Em
And he's fighting for democracy he's fighting for the reds
   C                 D        G
He says it's for the peace of all
         C              D             G                 Em
He's the one who must decide who's to live and who's to die
       C              Am             D
And he never sees the writing on the walls

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

         C         D              G            Em
He's the universal soldier and he really is to blame
        C                D           G
But his orders come from far away no more
               C               D      G                  Em
They come from him and you and me and brothers can't you see
        C              Am            D
This is not the way we put an end to war
