| Green, green, it's | green they say on the | far side of the | hill |
| G | C | G | D7 | G |
| Green, green, I'm | going away to where the | grass is | greener | still |
| G | D | C | G |
Well I | told my | mamma on the | day I was | born |
| C | D | G |
Don't you | cry when you | see I'm | gone |
| G | D | C | G |
You know there | ain't no | woman gonna | settle me | down |
| C | D | G |
I just | gotta be | travelling | on, singing |
| G | D | C | G |
Now there | ain't no | body in this | whole wide | world |
| C | D | G |
Gonna | tell me how to | spend my | time |
| G | D | C | G |
| I'm just a | good loving | rambling | man |
| C | D | G |
Say | buddy could you | spare me a | dime |
| G | D | C | G |
Well I | loved that | woman with | all of my | heart |
| C | D | G |
And I | will till the | day I | die |
| G | D | C | G |
But | I was | just a | stop along her | way |
| C | D | G |
She | never even | said good | bye |
| G | D | C | G |
Well, | I don't | care where the | sun goes | down |
| C | D | G |
Where I | lay my | weary | head |
| G | D | C | G |
| Green, green | valley or | rocky | road |
| C | D | G |
That's | where I'm gonna | lay my | head |
