           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    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          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.

     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.
