{c:Intro}
[/] [G]  [/] [Gsus4]  [/] [G]  [/] [Gsus4]  [/] [G]  [/] [D7]  


The [/] [G] old home town looks the [/] same
As I [/] [C] step down from the [/] [G] train
And there to [/] [G] meet me is my [/] [Gsus4] Mama  [G] and [/] [D7] Papa... [/] [D7] ...
Down the [/] [G] road I look, and [/] [G7] there runs Mary,
[/] [C] ...Hair of gold, and [/] lips like cherries
It's [/] [G] good to touch the [/] [D7] green, green grass of [/] [G] home.  [/] [G]  


{soc}
[D7↓] Yes, [D7↓] they'll [/] [G] all come to [/] [G7] meet me,
Arms [/] [C] reaching, smiling [/] sweetly,
It's [/] [G] good to touch the [/] [D7] green, green grass of [/] [G] home. [/] [D7]   
{eoc}


The [/] [G] old house is still [/] [G7] standing
Though the [/] [C] paint is cracked and [/] [G] dry
And there's that [/] [G] old oak tree [/] that I used to [/] [D] play on  [/] [D7]   
Down the [/] [G] lane I walk with [/] [G7] my sweet Mary,
[/] [C] ...Hair of gold, and [/] lips like cherries,
It's [/] [G] good to touch the [/] [D7] green, green grass of [/] [G] home [/] [G]  


{c:Spoken Verse}
[/] [G] ...Then I awake, and [/] look around me [/]
[/] [C] ...At four grey walls [/] [G] that surround me [/]
[/] [G] ...And I realise, [/] yes, I was only [/] [D7] dreaming  [/] [D7]   
For there's a [/] [G] guard, and there's a [/] [G7] sad old Padre [/]
[/] [C] ...Arm in arm we'll [/] [C] walk at daybreak [/]
[/] [G] Again I'll touch the [/] [D] green, green grass of [/] [G] home. [C] [/] [G]  


{eoc}
[C] Yes, they'll [/] [G] all come to [/] [G7] see me,
In the [/] [C] shade of that [/] old oak tree
As they [/] [G] lay me 'neath the [/] [D↓] green, green grass of [/] [C] home.  [/] [G↓]   
{eoc}
