Verse:
E MajorE
The old home town looks the same
   A augmentedA          E MajorE
as I step down from the train
                  BB
And there to meet me is my mama and papa
     E MajorE
Down the road I look and there runs Mary,
A augmentedA
hair of gold and lips like cherries.
   E MajorE         BB          A augmentedA
It's good to touch the green, green grass of home.

Chorus:
E MajorE                   A augmentedA
Yes,they'll all come to meet me arms a-reaching, smiling sweetly;
   E MajorE         BB           A augmentedA
It's good to touch the green, green grass of home.


Verse 2:
    E MajorE                  A augmentedA          E MajorE
The old house is still standing, though the paint is cracked and dry,
                       BB
And there's that old oak tree that I used to play on
     E MajorE
Down the lane I walk and with my sweet Mary,
A augmentedA
hair of gold and lips like cherries.
   E MajorE         BB          A augmentedA
It's good to touch the green, green grass of home.


Bridge:
E MajorE
And then suddenly I awake and look around me
    A augmentedA          E MajorE
at the four gray walls that surround me
                BB
and I realize that I was only dreaming.
        E MajorE
For there's a guard and there's a sad old padre
A augmentedA
Arm and arm we'll walk at daybreak
 E MajorE              BB       A augmentedA
again I'll touch the green, green grass of home


Chorus:
E MajorE                    A augmentedA
Yes, they'll all come to see me in the shade of that old oak tree;
  E MajorE           BB          A augmentedA  E MajorE
As they lay me 'neath the green, green grass of home.
