Ballad of the Green Beret chords
SSgt Barry Sadler

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

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

C               G          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                   G        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
