Green, Green:The New Christy Minstrels.
#14 in 1963.

CHORUS: (Capo 5th fret for original.)
G C
Green, green, it's green they say,
G D
on the far side of the hill.
G C
Green, green, I'm goin' away,
G D G
to where the grass is greener still.

#1.
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,
C D G
I just gotta be travelin' on. Hear me singin'...

CHORUS:

#2.
G Bm C G
No, there ain't nobody in this whole wide world,
C D G
gonna tell me how to spend my time.
Bm C G
I'm just a good lovin' ramblin' man..
C D G
Say, buddy, can you spare me a dime?..Hear me cryin'..

CHORUS:

#3.
G Bm C G
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..

CHORUS:(x2)
ADD:
C G D G
To where the grass is greener still.(X3)
