Intro:
E Am E Am
E Am
They'll make a man of you, my son.
E
You'll wear the green beret
Am E Am Am
And answer ev'ry question with a gun.
C Dm G
You'll wear a uniform, a signet on your sleeve.
C Dm G
You'll have a power that you never would believe.
E Am
And any problem that you meet,
E
You'll put a bullet through its head
Am E Am Am
Till ev'rything that moves is dead.
E Am
When your time's up and you've returned,
E
They'll take your gun away
Am E Am
But not the tricks you've learned.
C Dm G
You'll wear a uniform, the neat civilian brown,
C Dm G
Your hair the proper cut, the proper part of town,
E Am
And any problem that you meet,
E Am
You'll stamp it bloody with your feet,
Dm G E Am Am
Or roll it in barbed wire and get it off the street.
E Am
And any idea that you cannot comprehend,
E Am E Am
You'll put the handcuffs on and that will be the end,
C E Am
And anything that grows you'll cover with cement.
E Am
They'll make a man of you, my son.
