Ballad of the Green Beret chords
SSgt Barry Sadler

C majorC         G+G    C majorC
Fighting soldiers from the sky;
     G+G        C majorC
fearless men who jump and die
    FF          C majorC
Men who mean, just what they say;
     G+G         C majorC
the brave men of the Green Beret

C majorC       G+G     C majorC
Silver wings upon their chest;
     G+G       C majorC
these are men, America's best
      FF        C majorC
One hundred men we'll test today;
     G+G           C majorC
but only three win the Green Beret

C majorC          G+G    C majorC
Trained to live, off nature's land;
      G+G        C majorC
trained in combat, hand to hand
    FF          C majorC
Men who fight, by night and day;
    G+G           C majorC
courage take, from the Green Beret

C majorC       G+G     C majorC
Silver wings upon their chest;
     G+G       C majorC
these are men, America's best
      FF        C majorC
One hundred men we'll test today;
     G+G           C majorC
but only three win the Green Beret

C majorC        G+G     C majorC
Back at home, a young wife waits;
      G+G        C majorC
her Green Beret has met his fate
    FF         C majorC
He has died, for those oppressed;
    G+G        C majorC
leaving her this last request

C majorC          G+G    C majorC
Put silver wings on my son's chest;
     G+G        C majorC
make him one of America's best
      FF          C majorC
He'll be a man they'll test one day;
     G+G        C majorC FF C majorC
have him win the Green Beret
