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
[Chorus]
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
[Verse]
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
[Chorus]
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
[Verse]
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
[Chorus]
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
