Merle Haggard - Green Green Grass of Home

Starts on a C chord

[Verse #1]
G
The old hometown looks the same
C G
As I step down from the train
D
There to meet me is my mama and papa
G
Down the lane I look and there runs Mary
C
Hair of gold and lips like cherry
G D G
It's good to touch the green green grass of home

[Verse #2]
G
The old house is still standing
C G
Though the paint is cracked and dried
D
There's the old oak tree that I used to play on
G
Down the lane I walk with my sweet Mary
C
Hair of gold and lips like cherry
G D G
It's so good to touch the green green grass of home

[CHORUS]
G
Yes they'll all come to meet me
C
Arms out-reached, smelling sweetly
G D G
It's so good to touch the green green grass of home

[Solo]
G D G

[Verse #3]
G
Then I awake and I look around me
C G
At the four gray walls that surround me
D
And I realize that I was only dreamin'
G
For there's the guard and there's the sad old padre
C
And arm-in-arm, we'll walk at daybreak
G D G
And again I'll touch the green green grass of home

[CHORUS]
G
Yes they'll all come to see me
C
In the shade of that old oak tree
G D C G
When they lay me 'neath the green green grass of home
