Green Green Grass Of Home Chords & Lyrics - Johnny Cash

The [C]old home town looks the same
as I [F]step down from the[C] train
and there to meet me is my mama and my [G]papa
Down the [C]road I look and [C7]there runs Mary
[F]hair of gold and lips like cherries
it's [C]good to touch the g[G]reen green [G7]grass of [C]home[F C]

Yes, they'll [C]all come to [C7]meet me, hands [F]reaching, smiling sweetly
It's g[C]ood to touch the g[G]reen green g[G7]rass of [C]home

The old hous is still standing
though the paint is cracked and dry
Down the lane I walk with my sweet Mary
hair of gold and lips like cherries
it's good to touch the green green grass of home

Then I awake and look around
four gray walls that surround me
and I realize I as only dreaming
For there's a guard and there's a sad old padre
Again I touch the green green grass of home
