1. The old home - [C] town looks the [C] same
As I step [F] down from the [C] train
And there to [C] meet me is my mama and my [G7] papa
Down the [C] road I look and [F] there runs [C] mary
Hair of [F] golden and lips like che - [C] rries
It's [C] good to touch… The [G7] green… green grass of [C] home
Yes, they'll [C] all [F] come to [C] see me
Arms reach - [F] ing, smiling sweet - [C] ly
It's [C] good to touch… The [G7] green… green grass of [C] home
2. The old [C] house is still stand - [C] ing
Though the [F] paint is cracked and [C] dry
And there's [C] that old oak tree… That I used to play [G7] on
Down the [C] lane I walk with [F] my sweet [C] mary
Hair of [F] golden and lips like che - [C] rries
It's [C] good to touch… The [G7] green… green grass of [C] home
Yes, they'll [C] all [F] come to [C] see me
Arms reach - [F] ing, smiling sweet - [C] ly
It's [C] good to touch… The [G7] green… green grass of [C] home
(Rap)
Then I [C] awake and look around [C]
To the [F] cold gray walls that [C] surround me and then I [C] realize
[C] I was only dream - [G7] ing
(Outro)
For there's a [C] guard and a sad old [C] padre
Arm and [F] arm I'll walk at daybreak [C] again
I'll [C] touch… The [G7] green… green grass of [C] home
Yes, they'll [C] all [F] come to [C] see me
in the [F] shade of the old tree as they [C] lay me
Beneath The [G7] green… green grass of [C] home
