Lyrics & chords

[Intro 1]
[Am][Dm][G][C]
[F][Dm][E][Am]

[Verse 1]
[Am]Out in the c[Dm]ountry
[G]Far from all[C] the soot
and [F]noise of the [Dm]city
[E]There's a village [Am]green
It's been a [Dm]long time
[G]Since I las[C]t set eyes on the chu[F]rch
with the [Dm]steeple
[E]Down by the [Am]village green

[Verse 2]
[Am]La la la l[Dm]a la
[G]'Twas there I met[C] a girl called dai[F]sy
[Dm]And kiss[E]ed her by the old [Am]oak tree
La la la [Dm]la la
[G]Although I lov[C]ed my daisy, I s[F]aw fame[Dm]
And [E]so I left the [Am]village green

[Chorus 1]
[Dm]I miss the village green
[C]And all the simple people
[Am]I miss the village green
[G]The church, the clock, the steeple
[B]I miss the morning dew,
[E]fresh air and Sunday school

[Verse 3]
And [Am]now all the [Dm]houses
[G]Are rare antiq[C]uities
A[F]merican [Dm]tourists
[E]flock to see the [Am]village green

[Verse 4]
[Am]La la la l[Dm]a la
[G]They snap their pho[C]tographs
and [F]say "Gawd [Dm]darn it
[E]Isn't it a [Am]pretty scene?"
La la la [Dm]la la
[G]And Daisy's mar[C]ried
Tom the [F]grocer [Dm]boy
And [E]now he owns a [Am]grocery

[Chorus 2]
[Dm]I miss the village green
[C]And all the simple people
[Am]I miss the village green
[G]The church, the clock, the steeple
[B]I miss the morning dew,
[E]fresh air and Sunday school

[Verse 5]
And [Am]I will retur[Dm]n there
[G]And I'll see Dai[C]sy
And we'll [F]sip tea, [Dm]laugh
And [E]talk about the [Am]village green

[Outro 1]
[Am]La la la l[Dm]a la[G][C]
[F]We will laugh
And [E]talk about the [Am]village green
