Tuning: Standard (E A D G B E)

Intro:
B A E  B A E

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

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


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


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


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