Chords with lyrics
Tuning: G C E A (G C E A)
Difficulty: Novice
C
The old home town looks the same
F C
as I step down from the train
G
And there to meet me is my mama and papa
C
Down the road I look and there runs Mary,
F
hair of gold and lips like cherries.
C G C
It's good to touch the green, green grass of home.
C F
Yes,they'll all come to meet me arms a-reaching, smiling sweetly;
C G C
It's good to touch the green, green grass of home.
C F C
The old house is still standing, though the paint is cracked and dry,
G
And there's that old oak tree that I used to play on
C
Down the lane I walk and with my sweet Mary,
F
hair of gold and lips like cherries.
C G C
It's good to touch the green, green grass of home.
C
And then suddenly I awake and look around me
F C
at the four gray walls that surround me
G
and I realize that I was only dreaming.
C
For there's a guard and there's a sad old padre
F
Arm and arm we'll walk at daybreak
C G C
again I'll touch the green, green grass of home
C F
Yes, they'll all come to see me in the shade of that old oak tree;
C G F C
As they lay me 'neath the green, green grass of home.
