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.
