Green Green Grass of Home

CAPO I
INTRO: G C G C G D
The [G]old home town looks the [G/B]same, as I s[C]tep down from the t[C/B]rain
And there to [G]meet me is my [G/B]mama and p[D]apa
Down the [G]road I look and t[G/B]here runs [G7]Mary, h[C]air of gold and [C/B]lips like cherries
It's g[G/B]ood to to[G]uch the g[D]reen green grass of h[G]ome
Yes t[G/B]hey'll all come to m[G]eet me, arms r[C]eaching, smiling sw[C/B]eetly
It's g[G]ood to touch the g[D]reen green grass of h[G]ome
The [G]old house is still st[G/B]anding, though the p[C]aint is cracked and d[G]ry
And there's that old oak tree [G/B]that I used to p[D]lay on
Down the l[G]ane I walk with [G/B]my sweet M[G7]ary, h[C]air of gold and l[C/B]ips like cherries
It's [G/B]good to t[G]ouch the g[D]reen green grass of ho[G]me
SPOKEN VERSE:
[G]Then I awake and look a[G/B]round me, at f[C]our gray walls that su[G]rround me
And I realize,[G/B] yes I was only dre[D]amin'
For there's a gu[G]ard and there's a [G/B]sad old p[G7]adre, [C]on and on we'll w[C/B]alk at daybreak
[G/B]Again I'll to[G]uch the gr[D]een green grass of ho[G]me
Yes they'll [G/B]all come to s[G]ee me, i[C]n the shade of that old [C/B]oak tree
As they [G/B]lay me 'n[G]eath the g[D]reen green gr[D]ass of h[C]ome [D-C] [G]
