Tom Jones – Green Green Grass Of Home (Guitar)

G                              G7
The old home town looks the same,

      C                  G
as I step down from the train,

                                    D
and there to meet me is my mama and papa,

D7        G               G7
down the road I look and there runs Mary,

C       Adim      C        Bm  Am
hair of gold and lips like cherries,

      G                 D7          Am7  D7 G    G C G
it's good to touch the green green grass of home.

G                           G7
Yes they all come to meet me,

      C                        Am7
out reaching, smileying sweetly,

     G                  D7          Am7  D7 G    G C G
it's good to touch the green green grass of home.

     G               G7                    
The old house is still standing though 

      C                  G
the paint is cracked and dry

                                              D   D7
And there's that old oak tree that I used to play on

           G               G7
Down the lane I walk with my sweet mary

C
Hair of gold and lips like cherry 

      G                D            Am7 D7  G   G C G
Its good to touch the green green grass of home 

G
Then I woke and look around me

C                                G
at the four grey walls that sourround me

                                 D   D7
and I realize, yes, I was only dreaming 

                G                     G7
For there's a guard there's a sad old padre

C
arm in arm we'll walk at day brek

G                   D          D7         G C G
again I touch the green green grass of home

       G               G7      
Yes, they'll come to see me 

   C
in the shade of that old oak tree

    G                      D             D7    G  C  G
as they lay me neath the green green grass of home
