GREEN GREEN GRASS OF HOME
JOHNNY CASH

            G              G7        C                     G
The old hometown looks the same as I stepped down from the train
             G                         D
And there to meet me is my Mama and my Papa
         G               G7
Down the road I look and there runs Mary
C                          G
Hair of gold and lips like cherries
    G                 D7                   G
Its good to touch the green green grass of home


The old house is still standing though the paint is cracked and dry
And theres that old oak tree that I used to play on
Down the lae I walk with my sweet Mary
Hair of gold and lips like cherries
Its good to touch the green green grass of home

           G               G7
Yes theyll all come to see me
     C
Arms reching smiling sweetly
    G                 D7                   G
Its good to touch the green green grass of home


Then I awake and look around me to the cold gray walls that surround me
And then I realize I was only dreaming
For theres a guard and a sad old padre
Arm in arm I walk at daybreak
Again Ill touch touch green green grass of home

           G               G7
Yes theyll all come to see me
       C
In the shade of the old oak tree
        G                D7                   C    G
As they lay me neath the green green grass of home
