[Gm] [Em] [G]
[Am] [D] [G] [C]
[G] [Em] [F#] [G] The old hometown looks the same As [C] I step down [Am] from [G] the train
And there to meet me is my mama and [D] my papa
Down [Em] [D] [G] the road I look and there [Em] runs [G] Mary
[C]
Hair of gold and lips [Bm] like [Am] [G] cherries
Good to touch [Am] the green, [D] green [G] grass of home
Yes, and they'll all come to meet [C] me
Arms reaching, smiling [G] sweetly
[Am] Oh, [G] it's good to touch [Am] the green, [D] green grass [G] of home
[C] [G] The old house is still standing
[C] Though the paint is cracked [G] and dry
And there's an old oak tree that I [D] used to play on
[Bm] [Am] Yeah, [G] down the lane I walk with my sweet Mary
[C]
Hair of gold [G] like [Am] [G] cherries
Good to touch [Am] the green, [D] green grass [G] of home
[Em] Yes, [G] and they'll all [Bm] come [G] 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] Then I awake and look around me
[C]
Full grey [G] walls surround me
And I realize I was [D] only dreaming
There's [F#] a [G] garden, there's a sad old potter
[C]
I'm at home, we'll walk [Bm] at [Am] daybreak [G] again
I'll touch [Am] the green, [D] green grass [G] of home
Yes, and they'll all come to see me
[C] In the shade of an old oak [Am] tree [G] as I lay me
[Am] Near the green, green [D] grass [C] of home
[Bm] [Am] [G]
[Am] [D] [G] [C]
