Tom Jones - Green Green
Grass of Home
Alternate Version!!!
G
THE OLD HOME TOWN LOOKED THE SAME,
C
G
AS I FELL OUT OF THE TRAIN
D7
AND THERE TO MEET ME WAS MY MAMA, AND HER BOYFRIEND,
G
DOWN THE ROAD I LOOKED, AND THERE RUNS MARY,
C
STUPID BITCH, I STOLE HER CHERRY,
G
D7
G
IT’S GOOD, TO SMOKE, THE GREEN GREEN GRASS OF HOME,
CHORUS
G
YES THEY’LL ALL COME TO MEET (SEE) ME,
C
ARMS REACHING, SMILING SWEETLY,
G
D7
G
IT’S GOOD, TO SMOKE, THE GREEN GREEN GRASS OF HOME,
G
THE OLD WHOREHOUSE IS STILL STANDING,
C
G
THOUGH THE PAINT IS CRACKED AND DRY,
D7
AND THERE’S THAT OLD OAK TREE THAT I USED TO PISS ON,
G
DOWN THE LANE I’LL WALK, WITH MARY’S BEST FRIEND,
C
SHE’S NOT AS GOOD LOOKING, BUT SHE’S GOT BETTER HASH,
SHE GIVES BETTER HEAD,
G
D7
G
AGAIN, I’LL SMOKE, THE GREEN GREEN GRASS OF HOME,
G
THEN I AWAKE, AND LOOK AROUND ME,
C
G
AT FOUR GREY WALLS THAT SURROUND ME,
D7
AND I REALISE, THAT I HAD ONLY BEEN STONED,
G
FOR THERE’S A GUARD, AND THERE’S A SAD OLD PADRE,
C
ARM IN ARM WE’LL WALK, LIKE PUFFTA’S,
G
D7
G
AGAIN, I’LL SMOKE, THE GREEN GREEN GRASS OF HOME,
CHORUS
