NOT ALL CHORDS SHOWN<\/span><\/p>\n

The [C] old hometown looks the same, as I [F] step down from the [C] train
\nAnd there to [C] meet me is my mama and [G] papa.
\nDown the [C] road I look and there runs Mary.\u00a0 [F] Hair of gold and lips like cherries.\u00a0 It’s [C] good to touch the [G] green, green grass of [C] home.<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

Yes, [C] they’ll all come to meet me.\u00a0 Arms reaching, smiling sweetly.\u00a0 It’s good to touch the green, green grass of home.<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

The [C] old house is still standing; Though the [F] paint is cracked and [C] dry
\nAnd [C] there’s that old oak tree that I used to [G] play on.
\nDown the [C] lane, I walk with my sweet Mary.\u00a0 Hair of gold and lips like cherries.
\nIt’s good to touch the green, green grass of home<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

Then I [C] awake and look around me.\u00a0 <\/span><\/strong>At four grey walls that surround me.<\/span><\/strong><\/span>
\nAnd I [C] realize, yes, I was only dreaming<\/span><\/strong>.<\/span>
\nFor there’s a [C] guard and there’s a sad, old padre.
\n[F] Arm in arm,<\/span><\/strong> we’ll walk at daybreak;
\nAnd [C] a<\/span><\/strong><\/span>gain, I’ll touch the green, green grass of home<\/span><\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

Yes, [C] they’ll all come to see me.<\/span><\/strong> In the shade of that old oak tree<\/span><\/strong><\/span>
\nAs they lay me\u00a0 <\/span><\/strong>‘neath the green, green grass of home<\/span><\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
