[C] [G] [Am] [G] The old hometown looks the same as [C] I step down [G] from a train
There to meet me
Is my mama [Em] and [D] papa
Down [Em] [D]
[G] the lane I look and there runs Mary
[C] hair of gold
Like cherry [G] it's good to [D] touch the green green grass [G] of all
The old house
Is still standing?
[C] Though the paint is cracked [G] and dry
There's the old tree
That I used [D] to play on
[F#] [D]
[G] Down the lane I walk with my sweet Mary
[C] hair of gold
And lips like cherry [G] it's so good to touch [D] the green green grass [G] of all
Yes, they'll all
Come to meet me
[C] arms out reached
Smiling sweetly it's [G] so good
to touch [D] the green green grass [G] of all
Then
[Em] [D]
[G]
I awake
And I look around me [C] at the four gray walls [G] that surround me
And I realized that [Bm] I [Em] was only [D] dreaming
But [G] there's the guard and
There's the sad old padre
And [C] arm-in-arm
We'll walk at daybreak
[G] When again, I'll touch
[Em] [D] the green green grass
[G] of home
Yes, they'll all
Come to see me [C] in the shade
Of that old old tree [G] when they lay me
[Em] [D] Need the green green grass of all
[C] [G] [Am] [G]
There to meet me
Is my mama [Em] and [D] papa
Down [Em] [D]
[G] the lane I look and there runs Mary
[C] hair of gold
Like cherry [G] it's good to [D] touch the green green grass [G] of all

Is still standing?
