It takes a soldier    (intro)

 

    C - Am - F - G - C (2x)

 

        E                                          Am

1. If only we could understand before things spiral out of hand,

           D                                                  D7                        G

    it's not supply, but our demand, that does the monster feed.

             F                                                 C                G

    And still our leaders never cease to manufacture enemies,

        C                       Am                          F         G           C

    it isn't them that threaten peace, the problem is our greed.

 

    C                         Am

It takes a soldier to fire the gun,

      Dm                          G

to make it you need a working man,

      C                                    Am

to feed him the farmer will plough the land,

   Dm                      G

it all goes hand in hand.

             F

But to feed the soldier and the man,

           C                             G

who makes the gun, you need more land,

            C                         Am                           G  C

and to get more land, of course, you need a soldier.
