Green Green Grass of Home
written by Curly Putman

CAPO I


INTRO: G  C  G  C  G  D

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


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

    G                    G/B                 C                    G
The old house is still standing, though the paint is cracked and dry
                              G/B             D
And there's that old oak tree that I used to play on
          G               G/B       G7    C                C/B
Down the lane I walk with my sweet Mary, hair of gold and lips like cherries
     G/B      G         D                     G
It's good to touch the green green grass of home


SPOKEN VERSE:
G                      G/B           C                     G
Then I awake and look around me, at four gray walls that surround me
              G/B                D
And I realize, yes I was only dreamin'
                G                 G/B      G7    C                C/B
For there's a guard and there's a sad old padre, on and on we'll walk at daybreak
G/B          G         D                    G
Again I'll touch the green green grass of home

            G/B          G       C                       C/B
Yes they'll all come to see me, in the shade of that old oak tree
        G/B      G         D            D       C    D-C   G
As they lay me 'neath the green green grass of home
