    The Village Green Prese...

Cm         Fm
Out in the country
Bb        Eb              G#            Fm
Far from all the soot and noise of the city
G7                Cm
There's a village green 
Cm         Fm
It's been a long time
Bb        Eb                  G#            Fm
Since I last set eyes on the church with the steeple
G7                Cm
Down by the village green 
Cm         Fm
 Ah la la la la
Bb             Eb              G#          Fm
'Twas there I met a girl call Daisy
G7                    Cm
And kissed her by the old oak tree 
Cm         Fm
 Ah la la la la
Bb         Eb              G#          Fm
Although I loved my Daisy, I sought fame
G7                Cm
And so I left the village green 

CHORUS:
Fm         Fm/E       Fm/Eb           Fm/D
I miss the village green, And all the simple people 
Cm         Cm/B       Cm/Bb           Cm/A
I miss the village green, The church, the clock, the steeple 
D                       G
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 


Cm        Fm  Bb  Eb
La la la la la
G#        Fm      G7               Cm
We will laugh and talk about the village green 

(slow down at end)
