Green, Green Grass of Home Chords by Porter Wagoner

[Start]

[Verse]
        F                      
The old hometown looks the same
     Bb                 F    
As I step down from the train
                                    C7  
And there to meet me is my mama and papa
             F                               Bb
And down the road I look and there runs Mary ■ 
        Bb                         
Hair of gold and lips like cherries


[Chorus]
F                                  C        F   
It's good to touch the green green grass of home
                        F      
Yes they've all come to meet me
Bb                           
Arms areached smiling sweetly
        F                 C7                F      
It's so good to touch the green green grass of home


[Verse]
        F                      
The old house is still standing
           Bb                   F  
Though the paint is cracked and dry
                                             C       C7
And there's that old oak tree that I used to play on ■ 


[Chorus]
         F                           Bb  
Down the lane I'd walk with my sweet Mary
                           Bb      
Hair of gold and lips like cherries
F                      C                    F   
It's good to touch the green green grass of home
             Bb                
Then I awake and look around me
F                                          
■ At these four gray walls that surround me
      C7                               
And I realized that I was only dreaming
F                                           Bb   
■ For there's a guard and there's a sad old padre
                 Bb              
Arm in arm we'll walk at daybreak
F                                                 
And again I'll touch the green green grass of home
F                         
They'll all come to see me
       Bb                    F   
In the shade of that old oak tree
                          C7                Bb      Gm F
As they lay me 'neath the green green grass of home ■  ■
