1. The old home town looks the same,
C G
As I step down from the train,
G D7
And there to meet me is my ma-ma and pa-pa
G G7
** Down the road I look and there runs Ma-ry
C C Bm
Hair of gold and lips like cher-ries
G Am D G
It's good to touch the green, green grass of home
G G Am
Yes, they'll all come to meet me,
C C Bm
Arms reach-ing, smil-ing sweet-ly
G Am D G C G
Oh It's good to touch the green, green grass of | home - | /D /E /F# |
G
2. The old house is still stand-ing,
C G
Though the paint is cracked and dry
G D7
And there's that old oak tree that I used to play on
G G7
** Yeah Down the lane I walk with my sweet Ma-ry
C C Bm
Hair of gold and lips like cher-ries
G Am D G
It's good to touch the green, green grass of home
G Am
Yes, they'll all come to meet me,
C
Arms reach-ing, smil-ing sweet-ly

Oh It's good to touch the green, green grass of | home - | /D /E /F# |

3. Then I a-wake and look a-round me
C G
At four gray walls that sur-round me
G D7
And I re-a-lize I was only dream-in'
G G7
** There's a guard and there's a sad old pa-dre
C C Bm
Arm and arm we'll walk at day-break
G Am D G
A-gain I'll touch the green, green grass of home
G G Am
Yes, they'll all come to see me
C C Bm
In the shade of an old oak tree
G Am D C Bm Am G
As they lay me 'neath the green, green grass... of | home | |
