Green, green, it's green they say,
       G               D
on the far side of the hill.
G                 C 
Green, green, I'm goin' away,

to where the grass is greener still.

G               Bm          C         G
Well, I told my mama on the day I was born,
          C            D       G
Don't you cry when you see I'm gone.
                        Bm          C         G
You know there ain't no woman gonna settle me down,

I just gotta be travelin' on. Hear me singin'...

gonna tell me how to spend my time.
           Bm          C        G
I'm just a good lovin' ramblin' man..

Say, buddy, can you spare me a dime?..Hear me cryin'..

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