C                                        C
Fighting soldiers from the sky           Back at home a young wife waits
         G                C                        G                 C
Fearless men who jump and die            Her Green Beret has met his fate
        F                   C                   F                C
Men who mean just what they say          He has died for those oppressed
          G                C                     G               C
The brave men of the Green Beret         Leaving her his last request

[CHORUS]
C                                        C
Silver wings upon their chest            Put silver wings on my son's chest
          G              C                        G                C
These are men, America's best            Make him one of America's best
            F              C                        F                    C
One hundred men we'll test today         He'll be a man they'll test one day
         G                   C                    G             C         F  C
But only three win the Green Beret       Have him win the Green Beret

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 deep, from the Green Beret
