“Fields of Gold” was first released by Sting 1993 and has since been covered by many artists including Cliff Richard, Ellie Goulding, Katie Melua and Eva Cassidy.
A really easy and mellow tune to play with a simple repetitive melody, spaning a single octave and only including natural notes – what more could a beginner ask for! Enjoy 🙂
^C B – A – G G
You’ll remember me
^C B A G A
When the west wind moves
C – A G G C E-G
Upon the fields of barley
^C B – A G G
You’ll forget the sun
^C B A – G G
In his jealous sky

As we walk in fields of gold
^C B A G G
So she took her love
^C B A G-A
For to gaze awhile
C – A G G C E-G
Upon the fields of barley

In his arms she fell

As her hair came down

When you kiss her mouth
