(spoken) [same progression]
Then I awake and look around me at the four gray walls that surround me and I
realize that I was only dreaming. For there's a guard and there's a sad old
padre. Arm and arm we'll walk at daybreak - again I'll touch the green, green
grass of home

FINAL REFRAIN
Dm7  G7 (320001@1)    C (x32010@1)         C7 (x32310@1)          F (133211@1)                    Em7
Yes, they'll all come to see me in the shade of that old oak tree;
