G    D     Gmaj7          C        G
What did I have, said the fine old woman
G    D     Gmaj7      C         Am        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         Am            D7    
But stang--ers came and tried to take them from me
      G    D7     Em         G          C       D
I had fine strong sons, they fought to save my jewels
     C      D   G   Em    G           D     D7   Gmaj7
They fought and died, and that was my grief said she


[Verse 2]

G    D    Gmaj7         C        G
Long time ago, said the fine old woman
G    D    Gmaj7     C         Am        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        Am         D7   
My chil-dren starved, by mountain valley and sea
          G    D7  Em          G         C    D
And their wail-ing cries, they shook the very heavens
       C    D     G    Em    G              D      D7   Gmaj7
and my four green fields ran red with their blood, said she


[Verse 3]

G    D      Gmaj7         C        G
What have I now, said the fine old woman
G    D      Gmaj7     C         Am        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        Am           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 their fathers
   C      D     G    Em    G           D    D7   Gsus4 Gmaj7
My fourth green field will bloom once again said she
