Tom: G
G
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 G
down the road I look and there runs Mary
C
hair of gold and lips like cherries
G D D G C G
it's good to touch the green green grass of home
G G C
Yes, they'll all come to meet me, hands reaching, smiling sweetly
G D D G
It's good to touch the green green grass of home
G
The old hous is still standing
C G
though the paint is cracked and dry
D
And there’s that old oak tree I used to play on
G G
down the lane I walk with my sweet Mary
C
hair of gold and lips like cherries
G D D G C G
it's good to touch the green green grass of home
(THE NEXT VERSE IS SPOKEN with very light chords
in background)
G
Then I awake and look around me
C G
At four gray walls that surround me
D
and I realize I as only dreaming
G G
for there's a guard and a sad old padre
C
Arm in arm, we’ll walk at daybreak
G D D G
again I touch the green green grass of home
G G C
Yes, they'll all come to meet me, hands reaching, smiling sweetly
G D D G
It's good to touch the green green grass of home
