[Verse 1]
DThe old home town looks the same 
as I Gstep down from the tDrain
And there to meet me is my mama and Apapa
Down the rDoad I look and there runs Mary,
Ghair of gold and lips like cherries.
It's gDood to touch the gAreen, green grass of Dhome.
[Chorus]
DYes,they'll all come to meet me arms aG-reaching, smiling sweetly;
It's gDood to touch the gAreen, green grass of hDome.
[Verse 2]
The old Dhouse is still standing, though the pGaint is cracked and Ddry,
And there's that old oak tree that I used to Aplay on
Down the lDane I walk and with my sweet Mary,
Ghair of gold and lips like cherries.
It's gDood to touch the gAreen, green grass of Dhome.
[Bridge]
DAnd then suddenly I awake and look around me
at the fGour gray walls that sDurround me 
and I realize that I was only dAreaming.
For there's a gDuard and there's a sad old padre
GArm and arm we'll walk at daybreak 
aDgain I'll touch the green, gAreen grass of Dhome
[Chorus]
DYes, they'll all come to see me in the sGhade of that old oak tree;
As tDhey lay me 'neath the gAreen, green grass of Ghome.D

as I step down from the train

And there to meet me is my mama and papa

Down the road I look and there runs Mary,

hair of gold and lips like cherries.

D A D

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

[Chorus]

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

[Verse 2]

D G D

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

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

Down the lane I walk and with my sweet Mary,

hair of gold and lips like cherries.

D A D

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

[Bridge]

And then suddenly I awake and look around me

G D

at the four gray walls that surround me

and I realize that I was only dreaming.

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

Arm and arm we'll walk at daybreak

D A D

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

[Chorus]

D 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 home.
