Green Green Grass Of Home - Johnny Cash
[Verse 1]
[D]The old home town looks the same
as I [G]step down from the [D]train
And there to meet me is my mama and [A]papa
Down the [D]road I look and there runs Mary,
[G]hair of gold and lips like cherries.
It's [D]good to touch the [A]green, green grass of [D]home.
|[Chorus]
|[D]Yes,they'll all come to meet me arms a-[G]reaching, smiling sweetly;
|It's [D]good to touch the [A]green, green grass of [D]home.
[Verse 2]
The old [D]house is still standing, though the [G]paint is cracked and [D]dry,
And there's that old oak tree that I used to [A]play on
Down the [D]lane I walk and with my sweet Mary,
[G]hair of gold and lips like cherries.
It's [D]good to touch the [A]green, green grass of [D]home.
[Bridge]
[D]And then suddenly I awake and look around me
at the [G]four gray walls that [D]surround me
and I realize that I was only [A]dreaming.
For there's a [D]guard and there's a sad old padre
[G]Arm and arm we'll walk at daybreak
[D]again I'll touch the green, [A]green grass of [D]home
|[Chorus]
|[D]Yes, they'll all come to see me in the [G]shade of that old oak tree;
|As [D]they lay me 'neath the [A]green, green grass of [G]home.[D]
