The old home town looks the same as I step down from the train
DO SOL7
And there to meet me is my mama and papa;
REm7 SOL7 DO DO7 FA FAdim FA MIm7-Dm7
Down the road I look and there runs Mary, hair of gold and lips like
cherries,
DO SOL7 REm7 SOL7 DO FA DO
it's good to touch the green, green grass of home.
REFRAIN
REm7 SOL7 DO DO7 FA
Yes, they'll all come to meet me arms a-reaching, smiling sweetly;
REm7 DO SOL REm7 SOL7 DO
It's good to touch the green, green grass of home.

The old house is still standing, though the paint is cracked and dry,
DO SOL7
And there's that old oak tree that I used to play on;
REm7 SOL7 DO DO7 FA FAdim FA
MIm7-Dm7
Down the lane I walk and with my sweet Mary, hair of gold an lips like
cherries
REm7 DO SOL7 REm7 SOL7 DO FA DO
it's good to touch the green, green grass of home.
(spoken) [same progression]
Then I awake and look around me at the four gray walls that surround me and I
realize that I was only dreaming. For 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
FINAL REFRAIN
REm7 SOL7 DO DO7 FA MIm7
Yes, they'll all come to see me in the shade of that old oak tree;
REm7 DO SOL REm7 SOL7 FA-Em7-Dm7-C
As they lay me 'neath the green, green grass of home.
