The old home town looks the same
       C                  G
As I step down from the train,
              G
And there to meet me
                D  | D7
Is my mama and papa.

          G                 G7
Down the road I look, and there runs Mary,
C
  Hair of gold and lips like cherries.
      G                  D7
It's good to touch the green,
                G
Green grass of home.

Chorus: 0:54
             G            G7
Yes, they'll all come to meet me,
        C
Arms a-reaching, smiling sweetly.
      G                  D7
It's good to touch the green,
                G  | D7
Green grass of home.

G                          G7
  The old house is still standing
            C                     G
Though the paint is cracked and dry,
                 G
And there's that old oak tree
                 D    | D7
That I used to play on.

Down the lane I walk with my sweet Mary,
C
  Hair of gold and lips like cherries.

It's good to touch the green,
                G
Green grass of home.

Verse 3: 1:55
G                   G7
  Then I awake and look around me
C                             G
  At four grey walls that surround me,
G
  And I realize, yes,
             D     | D7
I was only dreaming,
2:14
                G                   G7
For there's a guard, and there's a sad old Padre,
C
  Arm in arm we'll walk at daybreak,
G                        D7
  Again I'll touch the green,
            G
Green grass   of home.

Chorus: 2:34
             G            G7
Yes, they'll all come to see me
         C
In the shade of that old oak tree,
         G                  D7!!
As they lay me 'neath the green,
                G!! C!! G!!!
Green grass of home.
