Chords with lyrics

Difficulty: Novice

Verse 1:

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

Chorus:

D MajorD                   G+G
Yes,they'll all come to meet me arms a-reaching, smiling sweetly;
   D MajorD         A augmentedA           D MajorD
It's good to touch the green, green grass of home.


Verse 2:

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


Bridge:

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


Chorus:

D MajorD                    G+G
Yes, they'll all come to see me in the shade of that old oak tree;
  D MajorD           A augmentedA          G+G  D MajorD
As they lay me 'neath the green, green grass of home.
