Intro: G D C C7
G G7
The old home town looks the same
C G
as I step down from the train
D
and there to meet me is my mama and my papa
G G7
down the road I loko and there runs Mary
C
hair of gold and lips like cherries
G Am D7 G G4 G
it's good to touch the green green grass of home
G G7 C
Yes, they'll all come to meet me, hands reaching, smiling sweetly
G D Am G
It's good to touch the green green grass of home
The old hous is still standing
though the paint is cracked and dry
down the lane I walk with my sweet Mary
hair of gold and lips like cherries
it's good to touch the green green grass of home
Then I awake and look arounde
four gray walls that surround me
and I realize I as only dreaming
for there's a guard and there's a sad old padre
again I touch the green green grass of home
