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.
