G5    D5     G5           C5        G5
     What did I have, said the fine old woman
     G5    D5     G5       C5         A5         D5
     What did I have, this proud old woman did say
           G5    D5     E5      G5        C5     D5      D5
     I had four green fields, each one was a jewel
         G5      D5   E5       C5         A5             D5    
     But stang--ers came and tried to take them from me
            G5    D5     E5         G5          C5       D5
     But my fine strong sons, they fought to save my jewels
          C5      D5        G5   E5    G5           D5     D5   G5
     They fought and they died, and that was my grief said she.

     Long time ago, said the fine old woman
     G5    D5    G5      C5         A5         D5
     Long time ago, this proud old woman did say
               G5   D5   E5     G5       C5       D5        D5
     There was war and death, plunder-ing and pillage
        G5    D5    E5          C5        A5          D5   
     My chil-dren starved, by mountain valley and sea
               G5    D5  E5          G5           C5    D5
     And their wail-ing cries, they reached the very heavens
            C5    D5     G5     E5    G5              D5      D5   G5
     and my four green fields, ran red with their blood, said she.


     G5    D5      G5          C5        G5
     What have I now, said the fine old woman
     G5    D5      G5      C5         A5         D5
     What have I now, this proud old woman did say
            G5    D5     E5      G5      C5         D5        D5
     I have four green fields, one of them's in bondage
        G5     D5    E5          C5        A5            D5    
     In stran-gers hands, that tried to take it from me
            G5    D5   E5       G5        C5          D5
     But my sons have sons, as brave as were there fathers
        C5    D5     G5     E5       G5          D5     D5   G5
     My four green fields ,  will bloom once again said she.
            C5    D5     G5     E5       G5          D5     D5   G5 G5
     and my four green fields ,  will bloom once again said she.
