GREEN GRASS OF HOME

   G                                  C                   G
The old hometown looks the same as I step down from the train
                                         D
And there to meet me is my momma and my papa
          G               G7               C
Down the lane I look and there runs Mary, hair of gold and lips like cherries
      G                          D             G
It’s good to touch the green, green grass of home.

The old house is still standing though the paint is cracked and dry
and there’s the old oak tree that we used to play on
down the lane I look and there runs Mary, hair of gold and lips like cherries
It’s good to touch the green, green grass of home
 G                                     G7         C
Yes they’ll all come to meet me, arms reaching, smiling sweetly
        G                 D                    G
When again, I touch the green, green grass of home


Then I awake and look around me, at the four gray walls that surround me
and I realize that I was only dreaming
There’s a guard and a sad old padre, arm in arm we’ll walk at daybreak
Again I’ll touch the green, green grass of home.




FOUR STRONG WINDS
  G                          Am7           D7             G             
Four strong winds that blow lonely, seven seas that run high,
                             Am7              D7
all these things that don’t change come what may
         G                   Am7           D7              G
And our good times have all gone, and I’m bound for moving on
          C              Am7            D7
I’ll look for you if I’m ever back this way.

Well I’m going to Alberta, weather’s good there in the fall
got some friends that I can go to working for
Still I wish you’d change your mind if I ask you one more time
but we’ve gone through that a hundred times or more.

If I get there ‘fore the snow flies, and if things are looking good
you could meet me if I send you up the fare
but by then it would be winter, not too much for you to do
and those cold winds sure blow lonesome way up there.
