D              A         D
I’m going home, my tour is done
   D             A         D 
I'm going home, I’m a lucky one
   G                     G                 Em           D
But I've left friends behind me, who won't come home no more
   D                     D       A             D
Yes many friends remain forever on that bloody shore

   D              A         D
But at night when I sleep, I know my dreams will be 
   D              A         D
About my friends I left across the sea 
   G                     G                 Em       D
I'll hear Verba, Young, and Horn laugh again out loud 
   D                     D       A    D
We'll all be together in a happy crowd

   D              A         D
But then I hear the sound of bullets whining overhead 
   D              A         D
Feel the crash of mortars and all my friends are dead 
   G                     G          Em   D
My friends they fought and gave their all 
   D                     D       A     D
My friends they died for freedom's cause

   D              A         D
As my dream is ending. They'll come and say goodbye 
   D              A         D
Though I'm sound asleep, a tear I'll cry 
   G                     G                 Em        D
And they say something, which feels my heart with pain, 
   D                     D       A             D
"Tell them about us Sadler, don't let us die in vain."

   D              A         D
I'm going home, my tour is done 
   D              A         D
I'm going home, I'm a lucky one

The brave men of the Green Berets 
 
               D7       G  
Silver wings upon their chest

These are men America's best

One hundred men we'll test today 
         D7                    G  
But only three win the Green Beret 
 
                    D7       G  
Trained to live off nature's land 
 D7                        G  
Trained in combat hand to hand 
        C                  G  
Men who fight by night and day

Courage deep from the Green Berets

Back at home a young wife waits 
    D7                      G  
Her Green Beret has met his fate 
       C                G  
He has died for those oppressed 
        D7              G  
Leaving her this last request 
 
                    D7       G  
Put silver wings on my son's chest 
         D7               G  
Make him one of America's best 
           C                    G  
He'll be a man they'll test one day 
         D7              G  
Have him win the Green Beret
