1. The old home - [Ab] town looks the [Ab] same
As I step [C#] down from the [Ab] train
And there to [Ab] meet me is my mama and my [Eb7] papa
Down the [Ab] road I look and [C#] there runs [Ab] mary
Hair of [C#] golden and lips like che - [Ab] rries
It's [Ab] good to touch… The [Eb7] green… green grass of [Ab] home
Yes, they'll [Ab] all [C#] come to [Ab] see me
Arms reach - [C#] ing, smiling sweet - [Ab] ly
It's [Ab] good to touch… The [Eb7] green… green grass of [Ab] home
2. The old [Ab] house is still stand - [Ab] ing
Though the [C#] paint is cracked and [Ab] dry
And there's [Ab] that old oak tree… That I used to play [Eb7] on
Down the [Ab] lane I walk with [C#] my sweet [Ab] mary
Hair of [C#] golden and lips like che - [Ab] rries
It's [Ab] good to touch… The [Eb7] green… green grass of [Ab] home
Yes, they'll [Ab] all [C#] come to [Ab] see me
Arms reach - [C#] ing, smiling sweet - [Ab] ly
It's [Ab] good to touch… The [Eb7] green… green grass of [Ab] home
(Rap)
Then I [Ab] awake and look around [Ab]
To the [C#] cold gray walls that [Ab] surround me and then I [Ab] realize
[Ab] I was only dream - [Eb7] ing
(Outro)
For there's a [Ab] guard and a sad old [Ab] padre
Arm and [C#] arm I'll walk at daybreak [Ab] again
I'll [Ab] touch… The [Eb7] green… green grass of [Ab] home
Yes, they'll [Ab] all [C#] come to [Ab] see me
in the [C#] shade of the old tree as they [Ab] lay me
Beneath The [Eb7] green… green grass of [Ab] home
