Green Green Grass of Home Bobby Bare
KEY OF “D”
INTRO: INSTRUMENTAL
[A]It's g[D]ood to touch the g[A]reen, green grass of h[D]ome.
VERSE / VOCAL
[D]The old home town looks the same
as I [G]step down from the t[D]rain
And there to meet me is my mama and [A]papa[A7]
Down the r[D]oad I look and there runs Mary,
[G]hair of gold and lips like cherries.
It's g[D]ood to touch the g[A]reen, green grass of [D]home.
REFRAIN
[D]Yes,they'll all come to meet me arms a[G]-reaching, smiling sweetly;
It's g[D]ood to touch the g[A]reen, green grass of h[D]ome.
VERSE
The old [D]house is still standing, though the p[G]aint is cracked and [D]dry,
And there's that old oak tree that I used to [A]play on[A7]
Down the l[D]ane I walk and with my sweet Mary,
[G]hair of gold and lips like cherries.
It's g[D]ood to touch the g[A]reen, green grass of [D]home.
SPOKEN VERSE
[D]And then suddenly I awake and look around me
at the f[G]our gray walls that s[D]urround me
and I realize that I was only d[A]reaming.
For there's a g[D]uard and there's a sad old padre
[G]Arm and arm we'll walk at daybreak
a[D]gain I'll touch the green, g[A]reen grass of [D]home
FINAL REFRAIN / VOCALS
[D]Yes, they'll all come to see me in the s[G]hade of that old oak tree;
As t[D]hey lay me 'neath the g[A]reen, green grass of [G]home.[D]
