C G         G                            C                  G    
■ ■ The old hometown looks the same as I step down from the train
                                D    D7
There to meet me is my mama and papa ■ 


[Chorus]
D          G               G7              C
■ Down the lane I look and there runs Mary ■
                 C               
Hair of gold and lips like cherry
G                      D7                   G   
It's good to touch the green green grass of home


[Verse]
                                           C                    G  
The old house is still standing though the paint is cracked and dry
                                        D    D7
There's the old oak tree that I used to play on


[Chorus]
         G                             
Down the lane I walk with my sweet Mary
C                                  
■ Hair of gold and lips like cherry
        G                 D           D7       G   
It's so good to touch the green green grass of home
                                G7      C                         
Yes they'll all come to meet me ■  arms outreached smiling sweetly
        G                 D                    G    D D7
It's so good to touch the green green grass of home ■ ■

[Verse]
G                                 G7 C                                    G 
■ Then I awake and look around me ■  at the four gray walls that surround me
                               D       
And I realized that I was only dreaming
D7               G                                   
■  For there's a guard and there's that sad old padre
C                                  
■ Arm in arm we'll walk at daybreak
G                        D                 G      
And again I'll touch the green green grass of home


[Chorus]
                D       G7            C                         
Yes they'll all come to see me in the shade of that old oak tree
         G                 D     D7             G    Am7 G
And they lay me 'neath the green green grass of home ■   ■
