Starts on a C majorC chord

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

Verse #2:
G+G
The old house is still standing
    C majorC            G+G
Though the paint is cracked and dried
                    D MajorD
There's the old oak tree that I used to play on
     G+G
Down the lane I walk with my sweet Mary
C majorC
Hair of gold and lips like cherry
    G+G         D MajorD          G+G
It's so good to touch the green green grass of home


CHORUS:
      G+G
Yes they'll all come to meet me
     C majorC
Arms out-reached, smelling sweetly
    G+G         D MajorD          G+G
It's so good to touch the green green grass of home

Solo:
G+G  D MajorD  G+G

Verse #3:
G+G
Then I awake and I look around me
  C majorC               G+G
At the four gray walls that surround me
                D MajorD
And I realize that I was only dreamin'
        G+G
For there's the guard and there's the sad old padre
C majorC
And arm-in-arm, we'll walk at daybreak
     G+G           D MajorD       G+G
And again I'll touch the green green grass of home


CHORUS:
      G+G
Yes they'll all come to see me
   C majorC
In the shade of that old oak tree
     G+G         D MajorD            C majorC G+G
When they lay me 'neath the green green grass of home
