Verse 1
Bm         Em
Out in the country,
A        D                G            Em
Far from all the soot and noise of the city,
F#                Bm
There's a village green.


Verse 2
Bm               Em
It's been a long time
A       D                    G               Em
Since I last set eyes on the church with the steeple
F#            Bm
Down by the village green.

Verse 3
Bm          Em
Fa la la la la
A     D                         G  
'Twas there I met a girl called Daisy
    F#                Bm
And kissed her by the old oak tree.


Verse 4
Bm          Em
Fa la la la la
A          D               G
Although I loved my Daisy, I saw fame,
F#                Bm        
And so I left the village green.


Chorus
Em         Em/Eb         Em/D
I miss the village green,
            Em6
And all the simple people.
Bm         Bm/Bb         Bm/A
I miss the village green,
                Bm/G#
The church, the clock, the steeple.
C#                      F#
I miss the morning dew, fresh air and Sunday school.

Verse 5
And now all the houses
Are rare antiquities.
American tourists flock to see the village green.

Verse 6
Fa la la la la
They snap their photographs and say "Gawd darn it,
Isn't it a pretty scene?"

Verse 7
Fa la la la la
And Daisy's married Tom the grocer boy,
And now he owns a grocery.


Chorus
I miss the village green,
And all the simple people.
I miss the village green,
The church, the clock, the steeple.
I miss the morning dew, fresh air and Sunday school.

Verse 8
And I will return there,
And I'll and Daisy,
And we'll sip tea, laugh,
And talk about the village green.

Outro
G       Em        F#7                     Bm
We will laugh and talk about the village green.
