NOT ALL CHORDS SHOWN
The [C] old hometown looks the same, as I [F] step down from the [C] train
And there to [C] meet me is my mama and [G] papa.
Down the [C] road I look and there runs Mary. [F] Hair of gold and lips like cherries. It’s [C] good to touch the [G] green, green grass of [C] home.
Yes, [C] they’ll all come to meet me. Arms reaching, smiling sweetly. It’s good to touch the green, green grass of home.
The [C] old house is still standing; Though the [F] paint is cracked and [C] dry
And [C] there’s that old oak tree that I used to [G] play on.
Down the [C] 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
Then I [C] awake and look around me. At four grey walls that surround me.
And I [C] realize, yes, I was only dreaming.
For there’s a [C] guard and there’s a sad, old padre.
[F] Arm in arm, we’ll walk at daybreak;
And [C] again, I’ll touch the green, green grass of home
Yes, [C] they’ll all come to see me. In the shade of that old oak tree
As they lay me ‘neath the green, green grass of home
