G                   G7
The old home town looks the same
C                         G
As I step down from the train
                                      D
And there to meet me is my mama and papa
G                          G7
Down the road I look and there runs Mary
C                  Cm
Hair of gold and lips like cherries
G                       D                      G
It's good to touch the green, green grass of home
                G7
Yes, they'll all come to meet me
C              Cm
And reaching smiling sweetly
G                       D
It's good to touch the green, green grass of home
G                       G7
The old house is still standing
C                                 G
Though the paint is cracked and dry
                                              D
And there's that old oak tree that I used to play on
G                        G7
Down the lane I'll walk with my sweet Mary
C             Cm
Hair of gold and lips like cherries
G                       D                      G
It's good to touch the green, green grass of home

G                  G7
Then I awake and look around me
C         Cm
At four gray walls that surround me
G                       D
And I realize yes I was only dreamin'
G                     G7
For there's a guard and there's a sad old padre
C                 Cm
Arm and arm we'll walk at daybreak
G                    D                       G
Again I'll touch the green, green grass of home
                   G7
Yes, they'll all come to see me
C                  Cm
In the shade of that old oak tree
G                            D                      C
As they lay me meet the green, green grass of home
