Green Green Grass Of Home

Mel O'Joe

recorded by Tom Jones

Intro	D	A	D

The old home town looks the same

	G	D
as I	step down from the t	rain

	A	A7
And there to meet me is my mama and	papa

	D
Down the r	oad I look and there runs Mary,

hair of gold and lips like cherries.

	D	A	D
It's g	ood to touch the g	reen, green grass of	home.

D	G
Yes,they'll all come to meet me arms a	-reaching, smiling sweetly;

	D	A	D
It's g	ood to touch the g	reen, green grass of h	ome.

	D	G	D
The old	house is still standing, though the p	aint is cracked and	dry,

	A	A7
And there's that old oak tree that I used to	play on

	D
Down the l	ane I walk and with my sweet Mary,

hair of gold and lips like cherries.

	D	A	D
It's g	ood to touch the g	reen, green grass of	home.

SPOKEN VERSE

And then suddenly I awake and look around me

	G	D
at the f	our gray walls that s	urround me

	A
and I realize that I was only d	reaming.

	D
For there's a g	uard and there's a sad old padre

Arm and arm we'll walk at daybreak

	D	A	D
a	gain I'll touch the green, g	reen grass of	home

D	G
Yes, they'll all come to see me in the s	hade of that old oak tree;

	D	A	G	D
As t	hey lay me 'neath the g	reen, green grass of	home.
