G                           G7   C                       G 
The old home town looks the same as I step down from the train 
                                 G7 D    D7 
and there to meet me is Mama and my Papa 
         G               G7              C                               (notes C,B,A)    
Down the road I look and there runs Mary hair of gold and lips like cherries 
G                      D           D7       G 
It's good to touch the green green grass of home 
 

C            G           G7      C            (notes C,B,A) G 
Yes, they'll all come to meet me   arms reaching   smiling sweetly 
                       D           D7       G     D 
It's good to touch the green green grass of home

The old house is still standing,   tho' the paint is cracked and dry 
                                      G7     D       D7 
and there's that old oak tree that I used to play on 
         G                G7            C                          (notes C,B,A)   
Down the lane I walk with my sweet Mary   hair of gold and lips like cherries 
G                      D            D7      G 
It's good to touch the green green grass of home

    Then I awake and look around me,    at these four grey walls that surround me 
                    A7    A     E        E7 
Then I realize that I was only dreaming 
           A          A7      G 
There's a guard and a sad old padre 
D                         (notes C#,B)  A 
   Arm in arm we'll walk at daybreak 
A                 E            E7      A 
Again I touch the green green grass of home

Yes they'll all come to see me in the shade of that old oak tree 
A                        E                    A      D   D7   A 
as they lay me neath the green green grass of home
