Hank Snow – Green Green Grass Of Home (Guitar)

D                         A7                    D
(It's good to touch,  the green, green grass of home)

D                           D7         G                  D
The ol' home town looks the same, as I step down from the train

                                    A7
And there to meet me is my mama and papa

             D               D7               G
And down the road I look and there runs Mary, hair of gold and lips like cherries

     D                 A7                    D
It's good to touch the green, green grass of home

D                        D7               G
Yes, they'll all come to meet me arms are reaching, smiling sweetly

     D                 A7                    D
It's good to touch the green, green grass of home

D                      D7                   G                    D
The old house is still standing, though the paint is cracked and dry

                                              A7
And there's that old oak tree, that I used to play on

         D                D7             G
Down the lane I walk with my sweet Mary, hair of gold and lips like cherries

     D                 A7                    D
It's good to touch the green, green grass of home

D                                   D7
And then suddenly I awake and look around me

                    D
At these cold, gray walls that surround me

                                   A7
And it's then that I realize that; I was only dreamin'

          D                              D7
For there stands's a guard and there's a sad old padre

G
Arm and arm we'll walk at daybreak

          D                    A7                    D
And once again, I'll touch the green, green grass of home

D                        D7             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 ho-o-o-me
