Green Green Grass Of Home

[Verse 1]

E                                   A                    E
The old home town looks the same as I step down from the train
                                       B7
And there to meet me is my Mama and my Papa
         E                               A
Down the road I look and there runs Mary hair of gold and lips like cherries
E                      B7                    E
It's good to touch the green, green grass of home


[Verse 2]

E                                        A                    E
The old house is still standing tho' the paint is cracked and dry
                                             B7
And there's that old oak tree that I used to play on
         E                               A
Down the lane I walk with my sweet Mary, hair of gold and lips like cherries
     E                 B7                    E
It's good to touch the green, green grass of home
                         E7            A
Yes, they'll all come to meet me, arms reaching, smiling sweetly
E                      B7                    E
It's good to touch the green, green grass of home

E                                       A                    E
Then I awake and look around me, to the cold grey walls that surround me
                                   B7
And then I realize that I was only dreaming
          E
There's a guard and sad old padre
A
Arm in arm we'll walk at daybreak
E                 B7                    E
Again I touch the green, green grass of home
                      E7            A
Yes, we'll all meet together in the shade of that old oak tree
        E                B7                    A    F#m E
When we meet beneath the green, green grass of home
