Johnny Cash - Green, Green Grass Of Home chords
Start Jamming...
The old [C#] hometown looks the same as [F#] I step down from [C#] the train
And there to meet me is my mama [Fm] [G#] and my papa
[C#] Down the road I look and there runs [F#] Mary
Hair of gold and lips like [D#] [C#] cherries
It's good to [Fm] touch the green, green [C#] grass of home
The old house is still [F] standing, [F#] though the paint is cracked [C#] and dry
And there's that old oak tree that I [G#] used to play on
Down [C#] the lane I walk with my sweet [F] [F#] Mary
Hair of gold and lips [C#] like cherries
It's good to touch the [G#] green, green [C#] grass of home
Yet they'll all come to see me
[F#] Arms reaching, smiling sweetly
[C#] It's good to touch [G#] the green, green [C#] grass of home
Then I awake and look around [Fm] me
To [F#] the cold [C#] grey walls that surround me
And then I realize I was [G#] only dreaming
For [C#] there's a garden, a saddle [F#] partridge
Arm in arm I walk at [D#m] [C#] daybreak again
[Fm]
I touch the green, green [C#] grass of home
Yes, they'll all come to see me
[E] [F#] And the shade of the old oak [D#] tree [C#] as they lay me
[G#] Need the green, green grass [C#] of [F#] home
[C#] [N]
