    G                       G7
The old hometown looks the same
       C                  G
as I step down from the train
                                     D7
And there to meet me is my Mama and Papa
          G               G7
Down the road I look and there runs Mary
C
Hair of gold and lips like cherries
      G                 Am
It's good to touch the green,
       D7       G
green grass of home

Chorus:
             G
Yes, they'll all come to meet me
      C
All creatures smiling sweetly
      G                 Am
It's good to touch the green,
       D7       G  C G
green grass of home

The old house is still standing
Though the paint is cracked and dry
And there's that old oak tree that
I used to play on
Yeah, down the lane I'll walk with my sweet Mary
Hair of gold and lips like cherries
It's good to touch the green,
green grass of home

Chorus

Then I awake and look around me
Four gray walls surround me
And I realize I was only dreaming
There's a guard and there's a sad old padre
Arm and arm we'll walk at daybreak
Again I'll touch the green,
green grass of home

Chorus:
             G   Gmaj7   G7
Yes, they'll all come to see me
         C
In the shade of an old oak tree
         G                 Am
as they lay me 'neath the green,
        D7      C  G/B Am G
green grass of home
