[Intro]
| Am Dm | G C | F Dm | E Am |
[Verse 1]
Am Dm
Out in the country
G C F Dm
Far from all the soot and noise of the city
E Am
There's a village green, oh
Am Dm
It's been a long time
G C F Dm
Since I last set eyes on the church with the steeple
E Am
Down by the village green
Am Dm
Ah la la la la
G C F Dm
'Twas there I met a girl called Daisy
E Am
And kissed her by the old oak tree
Am Dm
Ah la la la la
G C F Dm
Although I loved my Daisy, I sought fame
E Am
And so I left the village green
[Chorus]
Dm Dm/C# Dm/C Dm/B
I miss the village green, And all the simple people
Am Am/G# Am/G Am/F#
I miss the village green, The church, the clock, the steeple
B7 E
I miss the morning dew, fresh air and Sunday school
[Verse 2]
Am Dm
And now all the houses
G C
Are rare antiquities
F Dm E Am
American tourists flock to see the village green
Am Dm
Ah la la la la
G C F Dm
They snap their photographs and say "Gor' darn it
E Am
Isn't it a pretty scene?"
Am Dm
Ah la la la la
G C F Dm
And Daisy's married Tom the grocer boy
E Am
And now he owns a grocery
[Chorus]
Dm Dm/C# Dm/C Dm/B
I miss the village green, And all the simple people
Am Am/G# Am/G Am/F#
I miss the village green, The church, the clock, the steeple
B7 E
I miss the morning dew, fresh air and Sunday school
[Verse 3]
Am Dm
And I will return there
G C
And I'll see Daisy
F Dm
And we'll sip tea and laugh
E Am
And talk about the village green
Am Dm G C
La la la la la (oooh)
[Outro]
F Dm E Am
We will laugh and talk about the village green
