C5         F5
Out in the country
Bb5        Eb5              G#5            F5
Far from all the soot and noise of the city
G5                C5
There's a village green 
C5         F5
It's been a long time
Bb5        Eb5                  G#5            F5
Since I last set eyes on the church with the steeple
G5                C5
Down by the village green 
C5         F5
 Ah la la la la
Bb5             Eb5              G#5          F5
'Twas there I met a girl call Daisy
G5                    C5
And kissed her by the old oak tree 
C5         F5
 Ah la la la la
Bb5         Eb5              G#5          F5
Although I loved my Daisy, I sought fame
G5                C5
And so I left the village green 

CHORUS:
F5         F5       F5           F5
I miss the village green, And all the simple people 
C5         C5       C5           C5
I miss the village green, The church, the clock, the steeple 
D5                       G5
I miss the morning dew, fresh air and Sunday school 

And now all the houses are rare antiquities 

American tourists flock to see the village green 

They snap their photographs and say "Gol' darn it

Isn't it a pretty scene?"

And Daisy's married Tom the grocer boy

And now he owns a grocery ...CHORUS 

And I will return there

And I'll see Daisy

And we'll sit and laugh

And talk about the village green 


C5        F5  Bb5  Eb5
La la la la la
G#5        F5      G5               C5
We will laugh and talk about the village green 

(slow down at end)
