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...
