Green Green Grass Of Home
Recorded by Johnny Cash
Written by Curly Putman 

C            
The old home town looks the same  
     F                  C
As I step down from the train
                                       G7
And there to meet me is my mama and my papa
         C
Down the road I look and there runs Mary 
F       
Hair of gold and lips like cherries
C                      G7                   C
It's good to touch the green green grass of home                        

                               
The old house is still standing 
           F                    C
Though the paint is cracked and dry
                                             G7
And there's that old oak tree that I used to play on
         C
Down the lane I walk with my sweet Mary 
F       
Hair of gold and lips like cherries
C                      G7                   C
It's good to touch the green green grass of home


Yes they'll all come to see me  
     F
Arms reaching smiling sweetly
C
It's good to touch the 
G7                   C
Green green grass of home 

 
Then I awake and look around me 
       F                      C
To the cold gray walls that surround me 
                                   G7
And then I realize that I was only dreaming 
              C
For there's a guard and there's a sad old padre 
F
Arm and arm I'll walk at daybreak  
C                    G7             C
Again I'll touch the green grass of home
 
 
Yes they'll all come to see me 
       F
In the shade of the old oak tree
C
As they lay me beneath 
    G7                   F   C
The green green grass of home
