Ballad Of The Green Beret

[C]Fighting soldiers [G]from the [C]sky;
fearless [G]men who jump and [C]die
Men who [F]mean, just what they [C]say;
the brave [G]men of the Green Be[C]ret

[C]Silver wings u[G]pon their [C]chest;
these are [G]men, America's [C]best
One hundred [F]men we'll test to[C]day;
but only [G]three win the Green Be[C]ret

[C]Trained to live, off [G]nature's [C]land;
trained in [G]combat, hand to [C]hand
Men who [F]fight, by night and [C]day;
courage [G]take, from the Green Be[C]ret

[C]Silver wings u[G]pon their [C]chest;
these are [G]men, America's [C]best
One hundred [F]men we'll test to[C]day;
but only [G]three win the Green Be[C]ret

[C]Back at home, a [G]young wife [C]waits;
her Green Be[G]ret has met his [C]fate
He has [F]died, for those op[C]pressed;
leaving [G]her this last re[C]quest

[C]Put silver wings on [G]my son's [C]chest;
make him [G]one of America's [C]best
He'll be a [F]man they'll test one [C]day;
have him [G]win the Green Be[C]ret[F]   [C]
