            For Gmaj, throw a finger on the third fret on your B string (D6)


[Verse 1]

G    D     Gmaj           C        G
What did I have, said the fine old woman
G    D     Gmaj       C         A         D
What did I have, this proud old woman did say
      G    D     Em      G        C     D      D7
I had four green fields, each one was a jewel
    G      D   Em       C         A             D7    
But stang--ers came and tried to take them from me
       G    D7     Em         G          C       D
But my fine strong sons, they fought to save my jewels
     C      D        G   Em    G           D     D7   Gmaj
They fought and they died, and that was my grief said she.


[Verse 2]

G    D    Gmaj          C        G
Long time ago, said the fine old woman
G    D    Gmaj      C         A         D
Long time ago, this proud old woman did say
          G   D   Em     G       C       D        D7
There was war and death, plunder-ing and pillage
   G    D    Em          C        A          D7   
My chil-dren starved, by mountain valley and sea
          G    D7  Em          G           C    D
And their wail-ing cries, they reached the very heavens
       C    D     G     Em    G              D      D7   Gmaj
and my four green fields, ran red with their blood, said she.


[Verse 3]

G    D      Gmaj          C        G
What have I now, said the fine old woman
G    D      Gmaj      C         A         D
What have I now, this proud old woman did say
       G    D     Em      G      C         D        D7
I have four green fields, one of them's in bondage
   G     D    Em          C        A            D7    
In stran-gers hands, that tried to take it from me
       G    D7   Em       G        C          D
But my sons have sons, as brave as were there fathers
   C    D     G     Em       G          D     D7   Gmaj
My four green fields ,  will bloom once again said she.
       C    D     G     Em       G          D     D7   Gsus4 Gmaj
and my four green fields ,  will bloom once again said she.
