These chords are close to what they were playing
at Folsom Prison, back in '68.
Capo at 1.
GStrum once
The old Ghome town looks the Csame
as I Fstep down from the Ctrain
And there to meet me is my mama Gand my papa
CDown the road I look and there runs Mary,
Fhair of gold and Clips like Am7cherries.
It's Cgood to touch the Ggreen, green G7grass of Chome.
The old Chouse is still standing, though the pFaint is cracked and Cdry,
And there's that Cmaj7old oak Ctree that I used to Gplay on
Am7Down the Clane I walk and with my sweet Mary,
Fhair of gold and Clips like Am7cherries.
It's Cgood to touch the Ggreen, green G7grass of Chome.
CYes,they'll C7all Ccome to see me arms Freaching, smiling sweetly;
It's gCood to touch the gGreen, green G7grass of Chome.
Then I'll Cwake and look around me
at the Ffour walls that surCround me
and I realize that I was only Gdreaming.
CFor there's a guard Cmaj7and there's Ca sad old paAm7dre
FArm and arm we'll walk at daybreak
Cagain I'll touch the Ggreen, green G7grass of Chome
CYes, they'll C7all Ccome to see me in the Fshade of that old oak tree;
As they Clay me 'neath the Ggreen, green G7grass of Chome.
