G                  C
Green, green, it's green, they say 
       G               D
On the far side of the hill
G                  C
Green, green, I'm going away 
             G         D      G
To where the grass is greener still 

  G       D           C         D
I told my mama on the day I was born 
          G            D       G
Don't you cry when you see I'm gone 
               G        D
You know there ain't no woman gonna
C         D
settle me down 
       G           D         G
I just got to keep traveling on 

And I sing 

[Chorus]
G                  C
Green, green, it's green, they say 
       G               D
On the far side of the hill 
G                 C
Green, green, I'm going away 
             G        D       G
To where the grass is greener still 

               G       D
You know there ain't nobody in the
C          D
whole wide world 
      G              D        G
Gonna show me how to spend my time 
             G           D
You know I'm just a good loving,
C        D
rambling man 
     G              D          G
Now, buddy, can you spare me a dime 

And I sing

[Chorus]
G                  C
Green, green, it's green, they say 
       G               D
On the far side of the hill 
G                 C
Green, green, I'm going away 
             G        D       G
To where the grass is greener still 


   G           D             C
On now I don't care when the sun goes
D
down 
           G      D     G
Or where I lay my weary head 
    G            D         C     D
Now green, green valley or rocky road 
     G               D       G
It's there I'm gonna make my bed 

And I sing 

[Chorus]
G                   C
Green, green, it's green, they say 
       G               D
On the far side of the hill 
G                 C
Green, green, I'm going away 
             G        D       G
To where the grass is greener still 

One more time
G                  C
Green, green, it's green, they say 
       G               D
On the far side of the hill 
G                 C
Green, green, I'm going away 
             G        D       G
To where the grass is greener still
