Green green grass of home

    C                  
The old home town looks the same
     F                  C
as I step down from the train
                                       G
and there to meet me is my mama and my papa
         C               C7
down the road I loko and there runs Mary
F      
hair of gold and lips like cherries
     C                 G           G7       C      F      C
it's good to touch the green green grass of home


             C           C7             F
Yes, they'll all come to meet me, hands reaching, smiling sweetly
     C                 G           G7      C
It's good to touch the green green grass of home


The old hous is still standing
though the paint is cracked and dry
down the lane I walk with my sweet Mary
hair of gold and lips like cherries 
it's good to touch the green green grass of home

Then I awake and look arounde
four gray walls that surround me
and I realize I as only dreaming
for there's a guard and there's a sad old padre
again I touch the green green grass of home
