Green , Green Grass of Home - Bobby Bare

mi mi mi mi - re# fa# mi
The old hometown looks the same
mi mi fa# la - fa# la mi
as I step down from the train
mi la si DO# DO# - si - DO# RE DO#
And there to meet me is my mama
si la sol# si
and my papa
la DO# MI MI MI RE - DO# RE DO# si la
And down the road I look , and there runs Mary
la la sol# - la si la sol# fa#
hair of gold , and lips like cherries

fa# mi - mi la - la si si la sol# la
It's good to touch the green , green grass of home
la DO# MI MI DO# RE DO#
Yes they'll all come to meet me
DO# si si la - sol# la si la
arms areaching , smiling sweetly
fa# mi - mi la - la si si la sol# la
It's good to touch the green green grass of home

mi mi mi mi - re# fa# mi mi
The old house is still standing
mi mi fa# la - la fa# fa# la mi
Tho' the paint is cracked and dry
mi la si DO# DO# DO# si DO# DO# si
And there's that old oak tree that I used
la sol# si
to play on
la DO# MI MI MI DO# RE DO# si la
Down the lane I walk with my sweet Mary
la la sol# la si la sol# fa#
hair of gold and lips like cherries

fa# mi - mi la - la si si la sol# la
It's good to touch the green , green grass of home
la DO# MI MI DO# RE DO#
Yes they'll all come to meet me
DO# si si la sol# la si la
arms areaching smiling sweetly
fa# mi - mi la - la si si la sol# la
It's good to touch the green green grass of home

There's a guard and there's a sad old padre
la la sol# - la si la sol# fa#
Arm in arm we'll walk at daybreak

fa# mi - mi la - la si si la sol# la
Again , i'll touch the green , green grass of home
la DO# MI MI DO# RE DO#
Yes , they'll all come to see me
DO# si si sol# - la si la sol#
in the shade of that old oak tree
fa# fa# mi la
As they lay me
la la si si la sol# la
neath the green , green grass of home
