Ballad Of The Green Berets

C Fighting soldiers from the sky G C Fearless men who jump and die F C Men who mean just what they say G C The brave men of the Green Beret C Silver wings upon their chest G C These are men, America's best F C One hundred men will test today G C But only three win the Green Beret C Trained to live, off nature's land G C Trained in combat, hand to hand F C Men who fight by night and day G C Courage take, from the Green Beret C Silver wings upon their chest G C These are men, America's best F C One hundred men will test today G C But only three win the Green Beret C Back at home a young wife waits G C Her Green Beret has met his fate F C He has died for those oppressed G C Leaving her this last request C Put silver wings on my son's chest G C Make him one of America's best F C He'll be a man they'll test one day G C F C Have him win the Green Beret
