Ballad Of The Green Berets

[Verse] Fight-ing sol-diers from the sky; Fear-less men who jump and die Men who mean just what they say The brave men of the Green Ber-et [Chorus] Sil-ver wings up-on their chests, These are men A-me-r-ica's best One hun-dred men will test to-day But on-ly three win the Green Be-ret [Verse] Trained to live, off na-ture's land; trained in com- bat, hand to hand Men who fight, by night and day; cou-rage take, from the Green Ber-et [Chorus] Sil-ver wings up-on their chests, These are men A-me-r-ica's best One hun-dred men will test to-day But on-ly three win the Green Be-ret [Verse] Back at home, a young wife waits; her Green Ber-et has met his fate He has died, for those op-pressed; lea-ving her this last re-quest [Chorus] Put sil-ver wings on my son's chest; make him one of A-me-r-ica's best He'll be a man they'll test one day; have him win the Green Be-ret
