Link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RQ_nudgEAQc


Starts on a C chord

Verse #1:
G
The old hometown looks the same
   C         G
As I step down from the train
                D
There to meet me is my mama and papa
     G
Down the lane I look and there runs Mary
C

Hair of gold and lips like cherry
   G         D          G
It's good to touch the green green grass of home


Verse #2:
G
The old house is still standing
    C            G
Though the paint is cracked and dried
                    D
There's the old oak tree that I used to play on
     G
Down the lane I walk with my sweet Mary
C
Hair of gold and lips like cherry
    G         D          G
It's so good to touch the green green grass of home


CHORUS:
      G
Yes they'll all come to meet me
     C
Arms out-reached, smelling sweetly
    G         D          G
It's so good to touch the green green grass of home

Solo:
G  D  G


Verse #3:
G
Then I awake and I look around me
  C               G
At the four gray walls that surround me
                D
And I realize that I was only dreamin'
        G
For there's the guard and there's the sad old padre
C
And arm-in-arm, we'll walk at daybreak
     G           D       G
And again I'll touch the green green grass of home


CHORUS:
      G
Yes they'll all come to see me
   C
In the shade of that old oak tree
     G         D            C G
When they lay me 'neath the green green grass of home
