But without him, 
          D                 G           Em
how would Hitler have condemned him at Liebau,
        C           D                 G

his body as a weapon of the war,
        C                Am                D
and without him all this killing can't go on.

          C             D   
He's the universal soldier 
         G            Em
and he really is to blame,
       C              D            G
his orders come from far away, no more.
                 C                  D

     G                  Em
and brothers, can't you see,
         C            Am               D
this is not the way we put an end to war.
