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
