Green Green Grass Of Home (chromatic)

By: Curly Putman
Merle Haggard, Porter Wagoner
Key: G

-1 -1 -1 -1 1* 2 -1
The old home town looks the same
-1 -1 2 3 2 3 -1
As I step down from the train
-1 3 -3 -4 -4 -3 -4 4 -4-3 3 -2* -3
And there to meet me is my Ma-ma and Pa-pa
3 -4 -5 -5 -5 -4 4 -4 -3 3
Down the road I look and there runs Ma-ry
3 3 -2* 3 -3 3 -2* 2
Hair of gold and lips like cher-ries
2 -1 -1 3 3 -3 -3 3 -2* 3
It’s good to touch the Green Green Grass Of Home

CHORUS
3 -4 -5 -5 -4 4 -4
Yes they`ll all come to meet me
-4-3 -3 3 -2* 3 -3 3
Arms reach-ing smil-ing sweet-ly
2 -1 -1 3 3 -3 -3 3 -2* 3
It`s good to touch the Green Green Grass Of Home

The old house is still standing
Tho` the paint is cracked and dry
And there`s that old oak tree
That I used to play on
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
Yes they`ll all come to see me
-4 -3 3 -2* 3 -3 3 -2*
In the shade of that old oak tree
2 2 -1 3 3
As they lay me `neath
3 -3 4 3 -2* 3
the Green Green Grass Of Home

(spoken)
Then I awake and look around me
At the four grey walls that surround me
And I realize yes I was only dreaming
For there`s a guard and there`s a sad old padre
Arm in arm we`ll walk at daybreak
Again I`ll touch the Green Green Grass Of Home
REPEAT CHORUS
