_ _ _ [D] _ _ [G] _ _ _
The old hometown _ _ looks the same [C] as I step down from [G] the crane.
There to meet me is my mama [D] and my papa.
_ Down _ the [G] road I look, there runs Mary.
[C] _ Fair gold, it looks like cherries.
[G] Good touch, [D] the green, green [G] grass of home.
_ _ [E] _ _ [G] _
_ _ _ _ _ [N] _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _

there [C] _ _ _ _ _ [A] _ _
[D] _ _ _ _ [E] _ _ [G] _ _

_ _ _ _ [Eb] _ _ [D] _
I look, [G] _ _ _ _ _ _
_ there [C] runs Mary.
_ _ [Eb] _
[G] Down the road I [D] look, _ [G] _ _
_ [E] _ [C] _ _ _ _ _ _
_ [G] _ _ there runs Mary.
[C] _
[A] Down [G] the road I look, there runs Mary. _ _ _ _
[E] Down [G] _ _ the road _
_ [Abm] I [G] look, [G] _ _ _
_ [C] _ _ _ _ [D] _ _ _
_ _ _ [Eb] _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ [E] _
_ [G] _ _ _ _ _ [Bm] _
[G] there runs Mary.

_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
[Db] _ _ _ _ [G] Down the road I look, there runs Mary.
Down the road I look, there runs Mary.
Down the road I look, there runs Mary.
[C] _
C, da da da, da da da, [G] G, da da da.
_ [D] _ D7, da da da, [G] now [C] watch.
C, [D] G, D.
All of that was a [A] turnaround.
G is the last chord in the verse.
[B] But what I did is I went [C] to my C, [E] and then I [G] went back to my G.
[Em] Then I went to my [D] D7, and then [G] back to G.
Okay, so that [Eb] whole thing there just makes it sound good.
It [E] fills it up a little bit, okay?
So let's take the last line in there.
_ [C] _ _ [G] _ Okay, a little G touch.
_ [D] _ Green, that's my G7.
[G] There's a bone, [C] _ [G] C, D, [D] G7. _
[G] _ I've got my G again, okay?
In the old house, it's still [G] standing.
_ G7, a [C] little D, that's [A] C.
Cracked and dry, back to my C.
Da dee da da, _ da da da, [D] da da da.
[Db] _ _ _ So I went from the G to [Db] _ the C sharp, [D] _ back to the D.
[Bb] So when we have a chord like [D] this, and we're going to do that kind of an arrangement there,
[Eb] play the same chord.
In [D] other words, don't change it to some other hand configuration.
_ [Db] _ _ [D] _
It makes it nice and easy to play, okay?
[G] _ Now, the other [Dbm] part of the song _ is kind of like a bridge. _
_ _ We're going to be starting on the G the whole time, okay?
Yes, they'll all come to see me, [C] arms reaching.
Now this is where I went from [C] G to C.
[G] I could go, _ _ _ _ [C] _ _
[Gb] but sometimes it sounds just better [G] to do two chords, okay?
[A] So in the bridge, we'll do, [G] yes, they'll all come to see me, [C] arms reaching.
That's my C chord.
_ Smiling sweetly, back [G] to G.
Good to touch, [D] D.
Green, green grass, [G] oh, now I'll do your_
_ _ [D] _
_ _ _ _ [G] And back into your next verse.
So interestingly enough, [Ab] this song, which looks like it has a lot of work in it,
really doesn't.
It's only two chords.
[C] _ _ [D] _ _ _
_ [Db] _ [D] _ See, we don't [Db] count this chord in [Bb] the song,
because we're just going from the D [Db] to that chord, [D] back to the same D again, okay?
[A] And then in the other turnaround, where [G] we have_
Home, _ [C] C, G, [D] G7, [G] and then G again.
That whole sequence there, _ _ all the chords that you're playing in the song anyway,
so we really haven't [Gb] added anything to it.
So there you have it.
That's Green, Green Grass of Home, done by everybody you can think of.
Beautiful song.
