Green Green Grass Of Home Ukulele chords by Johnny Cash

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.
