Johnny Cash – Green Green Grass Of Home (Guitar Live)

C
The old home town looks the same 

      F                  C
as I step down from the train

                                       G7    
And there to meet me is my mama and my papa

          C                 
Down the road I look and there runs Mary,

F
hair of gold and lips like cherries.

      C                 G                    C
It's good to touch the green, green grass of home.

         C                                   F                    C
The old house is still standing, though the paint is cracked and dry,

                                             G7      
And there's that old oak tree that I used to play on

          C
Down the lane I walk and with my sweet Mary,

F
hair of gold and lips like cherries.

      C                 G                    C
It's good to touch the green, green grass of home.

C                                     F
Yes,they'll all come to see me arms a-reaching, smiling sweetly;

      C                 G                    C     
It's good to touch the green, green grass of home.

C
Then I awake and look around me

        F                    C
to the cold gray walls that surround me 

                                 G7
and then I re-a-lize I was only dreaming.

               C
For there's a guard and a sad old padre

F
Arm and arm I walk at daybreak 

 C                           G             C
again I'll touch the green, green grass of home

C                                       F
Yes, they'll all come to see me in the shade of the- old oak tree;

    C                      G                    F    C
As they lay me 'neath the green, green grass of ho--me.
