D 
The old home town looks the same  
     G                   D 
as I step down from the train 
                                    A 
And there to meet me is my mama and papa 
          D 
Down the road I look and there runs Mary, 
G 
hair of gold and lips like cherries. 
      D                 A                    D 
It's good to touch the green, green grass of home.
[Estribillo]
D                                     G 
Yes,they'll all come to meet me arms a-reaching, smiling sweetly; 
      D                 A                     D 
It's good to touch the green, green grass of home.
[Estrofa]
        D                                    G                   D 
The old house is still standing, though the paint is cracked and dry, 
                                             A 
And there's that old oak tree that I used to play on 
          D 
Down the lane I walk and with my sweet Mary, 
G 
hair of gold and lips like cherries. 
      D                 A                    D 
It's good to touch the green, green grass of home.
[Puente]
D 
And then suddenly I awake and look around me 
        G                    D 
at the four gray walls that surround me  
                               A 
and I realize that I was only dreaming. 
               D 
For there's a guard and there's a sad old padre 
G 
Arm and arm we'll walk at daybreak  
 D                           A             D 
again I'll touch the green, green grass of home
[Estribillo]
D                                       G 
Yes, they'll all come to see me in the shade of that old oak tree; 
    D                      A                    G    D 
As they lay me 'neath the green, green grass of home.
