 Cm         Fm
Out in the country
A#       D#               G#            Fm
Far from all the soot and noise of the city
  G                Cm
There's a village green, oh
Cm          Fm
It's been a long time
A#       D#                   G#               Fm
Since I last set eyes on the church with the steeple
 G           Cm
Down by the village green

Cm       Fm
Ah la la la la
A#            D#                 G#  Fm
'Twas there I met a girl called Daisy
     G                Cm
And kissed her by the old oak tree
Cm       Fm
Ah la la la la
A#          D#             G#        Fm
Although I loved my Daisy, I sought fame
     G             Cm
And so I left the village green

Chorus:
Fm          Fm          Fm             Fm 
I miss the village green, And all the simple people
Cm          Cm          Cm                 Cm 
I miss the village green, The church, the clock,
the steeple
   D7                     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
(La, la, la, la)
They snap their photographs and say "Gawd darn it
Isn't it a pretty scene?"
(La, la, la, la)
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 sip tea, laugh
And talk about the village green
(La, la, la, la)
We will laugh
And talk about the village green
