As recorded by Emmylou Harris (From the 1980 Album ROSES IN THE SNOW - CD REISSUE BONUS TRACK) [Intro] G D C G Em D [Verse 1]
          G            D               C         G
There's a green, green place where you lift your face

       D            C             G
To the sound of the waves and the wind

            D               C           G
Down by the shore, there my soul does endure

          D          C          G
Where the mother sea ends and begins
[Chorus]
G       D           C
Take me home to the sand and the foam

         G            Em          A  D
Where my dreams still walk in the mist

     G           D         C           G
I'll fall to the earth and root like a rose

       D              C          G
In the salt land that gave me my verse
[Tin Whistle Solo] G D C G D C G Em C G D C G A [Verse 2]
         G       D             C             G
Though I wander afar, the same sea, the same stars

      D            C           G
Still shine to the tears in my eyes

                       D            C         G
They take me home to a land that my soul understands

          D            C          G
Where the heart of the rose never dies
[Chorus]
G       D           C
Take me home to the sand and the foam

         G            Em          A  D
Where my dreams still walk in the mist

     G           Am7       C           G
I'll fall to the earth and root like a rose

       D              C            G
In the salt land that gave me my verse
[Outro] D C G D C C G Em C G D C G Am G D C G D C G Em C G D C G Am G D C G Em A D G
