G                                      C
  The old hometown looks the same as I step down from the train
                  G                 D
And there to meet me lord, was mama and papa
           G              Bm              G                 C
Down the road I look, and there runs Mary, hair of gold and lips like cherries
     G             D                     G      D
It's good to touch the green green grass of home


[Bridge]
            G                        C
Yes they'll all come to meet me arms reaching smiling sweetly
     G                  D                     G
Lord It's good to touch the green green grass of home

[Verse 2]
             C                                                  G
The old house is still standing though the paint is cracked and dry
                                          D
And there's that old oak tree that I used to play on
           G                        Bm  C
Down the road I look and there runs Mary, hair of gold and lips like cherries
     G             D                     G
It's good to touch the green green grass of home


[Verse 3]
                               C                                               G
Then I awake and look around me, all i got is four grey walls that surround me
                            D
And you know that I realize now, that i was only dreaming
G                                                   C
  For there's a guard and there's that sad old padre arm in arm we'll walk at daybreak
G                D                          G        D
  And again I'll touch the green green grass of home


[Outro]
            G                     C
Yes they'll all come to see me in the shade of that old oak tree
     G            D                    G        C  G
When they lay me, in the green green grass of home
