Green Green Grass Of Home

(G)The old hometown looks the(G7)same 
As I(C)stepped down from the(G)train 
And there to meet me is my mama and my(D)papa(D7) 
Down the(G)road I look and(G7) there runs Mary 
(C)Hair of gold and lips like cherries 
It‘s(G)good to touch the(D7)green green grass of home 
 
The old house is still standing 
Though the paint is cracked and dry 
And there‘s that old oak tree that I used to play on 
Down the lane I walk with my sweet Mary 
Hair of gold and lips like cherries 
It‘s good to touch the green green grass of home 
 
REFRAIN: 
(G)Yes they‘ll all come to(G7)see me 
Arms(C)reaching smiling sweetly 
It‘s(G)good to touch the(D7)green green grass of home 
 
Then I awake and look around me 
To the cold gray walls that surround me 
And then I realize I was only dreaming 
For there‘s a guard and a sad old padre 
Arm in arm I walk at daybreak 
Again I‘ll touch the green green grass of home 
 
REFRAIN: 
Yes they‘‘ all come to see me 
In the shade of that old oak tree 
As they lay me neath the green green grass of home.
