[E] [F#] [G] The old hometown looks the same [Am] as [C] I step down [G] from the train
And there to meet me [D]
is my mama [Bm] [D] and my papa
[Em] [D] Down [G] the road I look and there runs a man
[C] Hair of gold and lips [Bm] like [Am] [G] cherries
It's good to touch [Am] the green, [D] green [G] grass of home
[E] Yes, [G] and they'll all come to meet me
[C] Arms reaching, smiling [G] sweetly
[Am] Oh, [G] it's good to touch [Am] the green, [D] green [G] grass of home
[D] [G] The old house is still standing
[C] Though the paint is cracked [G] and dry
[D] [G] There's the old oak tree that I used [D] to play on
[E] [F#] [G] Down the lane I walk with my sweet Mary
[C] Hair of gold and lips [Bm] like [Am] cherries
[G] It's so good to touch [Am] the green, [D] green grass [G] of home
[E] Yes, [G] and they'll all come to meet me
[C] Arms reaching, smiling [Bm] sweetly
[Am] Oh, [G] it's good to touch [Am] the green, [D] green grass [G] of [C] home
[G] [Em] [F#m] [G] Then I [D] awake [G] and look around [B] me
[C] To the cold grey [G] walls that surround me
And then I realize I [F#] was [D] only dreaming
For [F#] there's [G] a garden, the sad old [A] [C] pardrey
Arm in arm I walk at [Bm] [Am] daybreak [G] again
I touch the [Am] green, [D] green grass [G] of home
Yes, and they'll all come to see me
In [C] the shade of that old oak [Am] tree
[G] I love you baby
In the [Am] green, green [D] grass [Bm] of [C] home
[Bm] [Am] [G]
And there to meet me [D]
is my mama [Bm] [D] and my papa
[Em] [D] Down [G] the road I look and there runs a man
[C] Hair of gold and lips [Bm] like [Am] [G] cherries
It's good to touch [Am] the green, [D] green [G] grass of home
[E] Yes, [G] and they'll all come to meet me
[C] Arms reaching, smiling [G] sweetly
[Am] Oh, [G] it's good to touch [Am] the green, [D] green [G] grass of home
[D] [G] The old house is still standing
[C] Though the paint is cracked [G] and dry
[D] [G] There's the old oak tree that I used [D] to play on
[E] [F#] [G] Down the lane I walk with my sweet Mary
