Verse #1 
G 
The old hometown looks the same 
     C                  G 
As I step down from the train 
                                D 
There to meet me is my mama and papa 
         G 
Down the lane I look and there runs Mary 
C 
Hair of gold and lips like cherry 
     G                 D                    G 
It's good to touch the green green grass of home 


Verse #2 
G 
The old house is still standing 
       C                        G 
Though the paint is cracked and dried 
                                        D 
There's the 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 cherry 
        G                  D                   G 
It's so good to touch the green green grass of home 


Chorus G Yes they'll all come to meet me C Arms out-reached, smelling sweetly G D G It's so good to touch the green green grass of home
Solo G D G Verse #3 G Then I awake and I look around me C G At the four gray walls that surround me D And I realize that I was only dreamin' G For there's the guard and there's the sad old padre C And arm-in-arm, we'll walk at daybreak G D G And again I'll touch the green green grass of home
Chorus G Yes they'll all come to see me C In the shade of that old oak tree G D C G When they lay me 'neath the green green grass of home
