Johnny Cash – Green Green Grass Of Home (Ukulele)

C
The old home town looks the same 

     F                   C
as I step down from the train

                                    G    
And there to meet me is my mama and 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
Yes,they'll all come to meet me arms a-reaching, smiling sweetly;

      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,

                                             G      
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
And then suddenly I awake and look around me

        F                    C
at the four gray walls that surround me 

                               G
and I realize that I was only dreaming.

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

F
Arm and arm we'll 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 that old oak tree;

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