Lyrics

[Verse 1]
             C                  C7
The old home town looks the same
     F                       C
As I step down from the train
                           C   C7       G
And there to meet me is my mama  and my papa
             C
Down the road I look,
    C7
and there runs Mary
F
 Hair of gold and lips like cherries
     C                 G
It's good to touch the green,
               C
green grass of home

[Verse 2]
             C                 C7
The old house is still standing
                F                C
Though the pain t is cracked and dry
                              C      C7      G
And there's that old oak tree that I used to play on
             C            C7
Down the lane I walk with my sweet Mary
F
 Hair of gold and lips like cherries
     C                 G
It's good to touch the green,
               C
green grass of home

[Chorus]
             C           C7
Yes, they'll all come to see me
     F
Arms reaching, smiling sweetly
         C             G
It's good to touch the green,
               C
green grass of home

[Verse 3]
        C                      C7
Then I awake and look around me
       F                       C
To the cold gray walls that surround me
                  C      C7   G
And then I realize I was only dreaming
              C            C7
For there's a guard, and a sad old padre
F
 Arm in arm, I walk at daybreak
 C                    G
Again, I'll touch the green,
               C
green grass of home

[Chorus]
             C           C7
Yes, they'll all come to see me
       F                             C
In the shade of the old tree as they lay me
           G                     F   C
'Neath the green, green grass of home
