Version 1 Version 2

            [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
