[Intro] G  D  C  C7

    G                       G7
The old home town looks the same
     C                  G
As I step down from the train
                                       D
And there to meet me is my mama and my papa
         G               G7
Down the road I look and there runs Mary
C
Hair of gold and lips like cherries
     G                 Am          D7       G      G4      G
It's good to touch the green green grass of home

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

The old house 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
