[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
