Green Grass Of Home Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
[D]The[G] ol[D]d h[A]ometown looks[D]
the same as I [G]step down from [D]the train
And there to meet me is my mama and [A]papa,
down the [D]road I look
And there comes Mary,
[G]hair of gol[C]d and lip[G]s like cherries
It's [D]good to touch the [A]green,
green grass of home
[D][G]

[Verse 2]
[D]
[A]Yes, they've [D]all come to meet me,
[G]arms areaching, smiling sweetly
It's [D]so good to touch the [A]green,
green grass of home
[D][G]

[Verse 3]
[D]
[A]The old hou[D]se is still standing
though the [G]paint is cracked and [D]dry
And there's that old oak tree that I
used [A]to play on [Bm]and [A]down the l[D]ane
I'd walk with my sweet Mary,
[G]hair of gold and lips like cherries
[Em]It's good [D]to touch the green[A],
green grass of home
[D][G]

[Verse 4]
[D]
[A]Yes, they've [D]all come to meet me,
[G]arms areaching, smiling sweetly
[Em]Lord, it's [D]so good to touch the [A]green,
green grass of home
[D][G][D][A]

[Verse 5]
[D]
Then I awake and look around [G]me at
four grey walls that [D]surround me
And I realized that I was only dreaming,
[Bm]for [A]there's [D]a guard
And there's a [Bm]sad old [D]padre arm [G]in arm,
we'll walk [Em]at daybreak
[D]Once again I'll touch the [A]green,
green grass of home
[D][G]

[Verse 6]
[D]
[A]Yes, they'll [D]all come to see me in
[G]the shade of that old oak tree
[A]As they lay [D]me 'neath [A]the green,
green grass of [G]home[D][Em][D]
