The old home town looks the same
F C
As I step down from the train
G
And there to meet me is my mama and my papa
C C7
Down the road I loko and there runs Mary
F
Hair of gold and lips like cherries
C G G7 C F C
It's good to touch the green green grass of home
C C7 F
Yes, they'll all come to meet me, hands reaching, smiling sweetly
C G G7 C
It's good to touch the green green grass of home
C
The old house is still standing
F C
Though the paint is cracked and dry
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 G7 C F C
It's good to touch the green green grass of home
C
Then I awake and look arounde
F C
Four gray walls that surround me
G
Aand I realize I as only dreaming
C C7
For there's a guard and there's a sad old padre
F
Arm and arm we'll walk at daybreak
C G G7 C F C
Again I touch the green green grass of home
