NOT ALL CHORDS SHOWN
The [E] old hometown looks the same, as I [A] step down from the [E] train
And there to [E] meet me is my mama and [B] papa.
Down the [E] road I look and there runs Mary. [A] Hair of gold and lips like cherries. It’s [E] good to touch the [B] green, green grass of [E] home.
Yes, [E] they’ll all come to meet me. Arms reaching, smiling sweetly. It’s good to touch the green, green grass of home.
The [E] old house is still standing; Though the [A] paint is cracked and [E] dry
And [E] there’s that old oak tree that I used to [B] play on.
Down the [E] lane, I walk with my sweet Mary. Hair of gold and lips like cherries.
It’s good to touch the green, green grass of home
Then I [E] awake and look around me. At four grey walls that surround me.
And I [E] realize, yes, I was only dreaming.
For there’s a [E] guard and there’s a sad, old padre.
[A] Arm in arm, we’ll walk at daybreak;
And [E] again, I’ll touch the green, green grass of home
Yes, [E] they’ll all come to see me. In the shade of that old oak tree
As they lay me ‘neath the green, green grass of home
