[Intro]
G       C/G     G     C/G    G     D7


[Verse 1]
    G
The old home town looks the same
     C                  G
As I step down from the train
                           C C/B C/A C/G D7
And there to meet me is my mama      and papa
         G                G7
Down the road I look, and there runs Mary
C                           C/B C/A
Hair of gold, and lips like cherries
     G                 D7           C    D   G        C   G
It's good to touch the green, green grass of home.


[Chorus]
C    D6      G           G7
Yes, they'll all come to meet me,
     C                         C/B C/A
Arms reaching, smiling sweetly
     G                 D7           C    D   G       D  D7
It's good to touch the green, green grass of home


[Verse 2]
    G                  G7
The old house is still standing
           C                    G
Though the paint is cracked and dry
                 G                           D        D7
And there's that old oak tree that I used to play on
         G                G7
Down the lane I walk with my sweet Mary,
C                           C/B C/A
Hair of gold, and lips like cherries
     G                 D7            Am7 D   G         G/E  G/F#
It's good to touch the green, green grass of home


[Verse 3]
G
Then I awake, and look around me
C                            G
At four grey walls that surround me
      G                        D         D7
And I realise, yes, I was only dreaming
              G                    G7
For there's a guard, and there's a sad old Padre
C                        C/B C/A
Arm in arm we'll walk at daybreak
 G                   D            D7       G        C  G
Again I'll touch the green, green grass of home.


[Chorus]
C    D6      G           G7
Yes, they'll all come to see me
       C                     C/B C/A
In the shade of that old oak tree
        G                 D      D7    D6       C     C/B  C/A    G
As they lay me 'neath the green, green grass of home
