1. The old home town looks the same as I step down from the train,

D - D7

and there to meet me is my mama and papa.

G G7

Down the road I look and there runs Mary,

C

hair of gold and lips like cherries,

G D D7 G - C - G

it's good to touch the green, green grass of home.

G G7 C

Yes, they'll all come to meet me, arms reaching, smiling sweetly,

G D D7 G - D7

it's good to touch the green, green grass of home.

2. The old house is still standing, though the paint is cracked and dry,

D - D7

and there's that old oak tree that I used to play on.

G G7

Down the lane I walk and with my sweet Mary,

C

hair of gold and lips like cherries,

G D D7 G

it's good to touch the green, green grass of home.

G - C G

3. Then I awake and look around me at the four gray walls that surround me,

D - D7

and I realize, yes, I was only dreaming.

G G7

For there's a guard and there's a sad old padre,

C

arm and arm we'll walk at daybreak,

G D D7 G - C - G

again I'll touch the green, green grass of home.

G G7 C

Yes, they'll all come to see me in the shade of that old oak tree,

G D D7 G - C - G

as they lay me ‘neath the green, green grass of home.
