BALLAD OF THUNDER ROAD

4   4     5   -4   4 4   5   5   6 -5 5

Let me tell the story, I can tell it all

-4 -4   -4    -5     5     -4     3     3   3 4 4   5 5 6

About the mountain boy who ran illegal alcohol

3     4 4     5     -4       4   4     5       5     6     -5     5

His daddy made the whiskey, son, he drove the load

-4   -4   -5   5       -4         3       3       3     4     4       5   -4       4

When his engine roared, they called the highway Thunder Road.

4      4        5   -4 4 4      5      5        6  -5       5

Sometimes into Ashville, sometimes Memphis town

-4   -4 -4 -5 5       -4       -4   3     3       4     4     5     5     6

The revenuers chased him but they couldn’t run him down

4       4       4         5         -4     4     4     4     5   5       6       -5   5

Each time they thought they had him, his engine would explode

-4   -4 -5   5     -4     3       3     3     4     4     5   -4       4

He’d go by like they were standin’ still on Thunder Road.

(CHORUS)

5     -5       6   -6   -5     -6   -5   6 -5   5     -5     6

And there was thunder, thunder over Thunder Road

6     6     -5   5   -4   3     3       3       4     4      5     5     6

Thunder was his engine, and white lightning was his load

5     -5       -6     -5       -6       -5   -5   6   -5     5     -5         6

There was moonshine, moonshine to quench the Devil’s thirst

-5   -5   -5       -5         5       -4   3       3   3   4 4     5   -4     4

The law they swore they’d get him, but the Devil got him first.

Probably not a bad idea to look up the song for specific length of
notes and such…

the brave men of the Green Beret

Chorus:

Silver wings upon their chest
6 7 7 7 -7 7 7
these are men Americas best
8 8 8 8 -6 -7 7 7
one hundred men will test today
6 6 6 -5 4 -4 -5 5
but only three win the Green Beret

verse 2:
trained to live off natures land
trained in combat hand to hand
men who fight by night and day
courage take from the Green Beret

Chorus:

verse 3:
back at home a young wife waits
her Green Beret has met his fate
he has died for those oppressed
leaving her his last request
6 6 6 6 5 -5 -5 5
put silver wings on my sons chest
6 7 7 7 -7 7 7
make him one of Americas best
8 8 8 8 -6 -7 7 7
he’ll be a man they test one day
6 6 -5 4 -4 -5 5
have him win the Green Beret

BARRY SADLER – BALAD OF THE GREEN BERET

6 6 6 5 4 -4 4

Fighting soldiers – from the skies

5 6 6 6 -6 -6 6

Fearless men – who jump and die

7 7 7 -5 -6 -6 6

Men who mean – just what they say

5 5 -4 3 -4 -4 4

The brave men – from the Green Beret

Silver wings – upon their chest
These ar men – America’s best
One hundred men, we’ll test today
But only three win the Green Beret

Trained to live, off nature’s land
Trained in combat, hand to hand
Men who fight by night and day
Courage deep, from the Green Beret

Back at home a young wife waits
Her Green Beret has met his fate
He has died for those oppressed
Leaving her this last request

Put silver wings on my son’s chest
Make him one of America’s best
He’ll be a man they’ll test one day
Have him win the Green Beret
