[Verses]
[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,
[D7] [G] [G7]
down the road I look and there runs Mary,
[C] [Adim] [C] [Bm] [Am]
hair of gold and lips like cherries,
[G] [D7] [Am7] [D7] [G] [G] [C] [G]
it's good to touch the green green grass of home.
[G] [G7]
Yes they all come to meet me,
[C] [Am7]
out reaching, smileying sweetly,
[G] [D7] [Am7] [D7] [G] [G] [C] [G]
it's good to touch the green green grass of home.
[G] [G7]
The old house is still standing though
[C] [G]
the paint is cracked and dry
[D] [D7]
And there's that old oak tree that I used to play on
[G] [G7]
Down the lane I walk with my sweet mary
[C]
Hair of gold and lips like cherry
[G] [D] [Am7] [D7] [G] [G] [C] [G]
Its good to touch the green green grass of home
[G]
Then I woke and look around me
[C] [G]
at the four grey walls that sourround me
[D] [D7]
and I realize, yes, I was only dreaming
[G] [G7]
For there's a guard there's a sad old padre
[C]
arm in arm we'll walk at day brek
[G] [D] [D7] [G] [C] [G]
again I touch the green green grass of home
[G] [G7]
Yes, they'll come to see me
[C]
in the shade of that old oak tree
[G] [D] [D7] [G] [C] [G]
as they lay me neath the green green grass of home
