Green, Green Grass Of Home (Cash Johnny)

C 1. The old home town looks the same, F C As I step down from the train, G And there to meet me is my mama and my papa. C C7 Down the road I look, and there comes Mary, F Hair of gold and lips like cherries. C G G7 C F C It's good to touch the green, green grass of home. 2. The old house is still standing, Though the paint is cracked and dry, And 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 cherries. It's good to touch the green, green grass of home. C C7 R: Yes, they'll all come to see me, F Arms reaching, smiling sweetly. C G G7 C It's good to touch the green, green grass of home. 3. Then I awake and look around me, to the cold gray walls that surround me, And I realize I was only dreaming. For there's a guard, and a sad old padre, Arm in arm, I walk at daybreak. Again, I touch the green, green grass of home. R1: Yes, they'll all come to see me In the shade of the old oak tree, As they lay me 'neath the green, green grass of home.
