Merle Haggard – Green Green Grass Of Home (Guitar)

G
The old hometown looks the same

     C                  G
As I step down from the train

                                D
There to meet me is my mama and papa

         G
Down the lane I look and there runs Mary

C
Hair of gold and lips like cherry

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

G
The old house is still standing

       C                        G
Though the paint is cracked and dried

                                        D
There's the old oak tree that I used to play on

          G
Down the lane I walk with my sweet Mary

C
Hair of gold and lips like cherry

        G                  D                   G
It's so good to touch the green green grass of home

            G
Yes they'll all come to meet me

         C
Arms out-reached, smelling sweetly

        G                 D                    G
It's so good to touch the green green grass of home

G
Then I awake and I look around me

    C                             G
At the four gray walls that surround me

                               D
And I realize that I was only dreamin'

               G
For there's the guard and there's the sad old padre

C
And arm-in-arm, we'll walk at daybreak

          G                     D             G
And again I'll touch the green green grass of home

            G
Yes they'll all come to see me

      C
In the shade of that old oak tree

          G                 D                        C  G
When they lay me 'neath the green green grass of home
