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)
