G C
The old hometown looks the same as I step down from the train
G D
And there to meet me lord, was mama and papa
G Bm G C
Down the road I look, and there runs Mary, hair of gold and lips like cherries
G D G D
It's good to touch the green green grass of home
[Bridge]
G C
Yes they'll all come to meet me arms reaching smiling sweetly
G D G
Lord It's good to touch the green green grass of home
[Verse 2]
C G
The old house is still standing though the paint is cracked and dry
D
And there's that old oak tree that I used to play on
G Bm C
Down the road I look and there runs Mary, hair of gold and lips like cherries
G D G
It's good to touch the green green grass of home
[Verse 3]
C G
Then I awake and look around me, all i got is four grey walls that surround me
D
And you know that I realize now, that i was only dreaming
G C
For there's a guard and there's that sad old padre arm in arm we'll walk at daybreak
G D G D
And again I'll touch the green green grass of home
[Outro]
G C
Yes they'll all come to see me in the shade of that old oak tree
G D G C G
When they lay me, in the green green grass of home
