Intro: G# C# G# C# G# Eb7
G#
The old home town, looks the same
C# G#
As I step down, from the train
Eb7
And there to meet me, is my mama and papa
G#
Down the road I look and there runs Mary
C#
Hair of gold and lips like cherries
G# Eb7 G# Eb7
It's good to touch, the green green grass of home
G# G#7
Yes they'll all come to meet me
C#
Arms reaching, smiling sweetly
G# Eb7 G# Eb7
It's good to touch, the green green grass of home
G#
The old house is still standing
C# G#
Though the paint is cracked and dry
Eb7
And there's that old oak tree, that I used to play on
G#
Down the lane I walk with my sweet Mary
C#
Hair of gold and lips like cherries
G# Eb7 G# Eb7
It's good to touch, the green green grass of home
G# C#
Then I awake and look around me
G#
At four gray walls that surround me
Eb7
And I realize, yes I was only dreamin'
G# C#
For there's a guard and there's a sad old padre
On and on we'll walk at daybreak
G# Eb7 G# Eb7
Again I'll touch, the green green grass of home
G# G#7
Yes, they'll all come to see me
C#
In the shade of that old oak tree
G# Eb7 C# G#
As they lay me 'neath, the green green grass of home...
