The [C]old home town looks the same
As I [F]step down from the [C]train
And there to [C]meet me, is my mama and [G7]papa [G7]
Down the [C]road I look, and [C7]there runs Mary
[F]Hair of gold, and [F]lips like [Em]↓ cher-[Dm]↓ries
It’s [C]good to touch, the [G7]green, green grass of [C]home [Csus4]  /[C]


{c:CHORUS:}
{soc}
[F]↓ Yes [G7]↓ they’ll [C]all come to [C7]meet me
Arms [F]reaching, smiling [F]sweetly [Em]↓ [Dm]↓
It’s [C]good to touch the [G7]green, green grass of [C]home [G7]
{eoc}


The [C]old house is still standing
Though the [F]paint is cracked and [C]dry
And there’s that [C]old oak tree, that I used to [G7]play on [G7]
Down the [C]lane I walk, with [C7]my sweet Mary
[F]Hair of gold, and [F]lips like [Em]↓ cher-[Dm]↓ries
It’s [C]good to touch, the [G7]green, green grass of [C]home [C]


[C]Then I awake and look a-[C]round me
[F]At four grey walls that [C]surround me
[C]And I realize [C]yes, I was only [G7]dreaming [G7]
For there’s a [C]guard and there’s a [C7]sad old padre
[F]Arm in arm, we’ll [F]walk at [Em]↓ day-[Dm]↓break
A-[C]gain I’ll touch, the [G7]green, green grass of [C]home [Csus4]  /[C]


{c:CHORUS:}
{soc}
[F]↓ Yes [G7]↓ they’ll [C]all come to [C7]see me
In the [F]shade, of that [F]old oak tree as they [C]lay me 
‘Neath the [G7]green, green grass of [C]home [Csus4]  /[C]↓
