Merle Haggard - Green Green Grass Of Home Chords

Green Green Grass of Home
C. Putman

G
The old hometown looks the same
     C                  G
As I step down from the train
                                D
There to meet me is my mama and papa
         G
Down the lane I look and there runs Mary
C                           
Hair of gold and lips like cherry
     G                 D                    G
It's good to touch the green green grass of home


The old house is still standing
Though the paint is cracked and dried
There's the old oak tree that I used to play on
Down the lane I walk with my sweet Mary
Hair of gold and lips like cherry
It's so good to touch the green green grass of home


CHORUS:
            G
Yes they'll all come to meet me
         C
Arms out-reached, smelling sweetly
        G                 D                    G
It's so good to touch the green green grass of home


BREAK: G  D  G


Then I awake and I look around me
At the four gray walls that surround me
And I realize that I was only dreamin'
For there's the guard and there's the sad old padre
And arm-in-arm, we'll walk at daybreak
And again I'll touch the green green grass of home


CHORUS:
            G
Yes they'll all come to see me
      C
In the shade of that old oak tree
          G                 D                        C  G
When they lay me 'neath the green green grass of home
