May not be exact, but this is how I play it. I'm cribbing from videos I've seen of
performances by the Brothers Four.
Capo 2nd fret.
For the intro, strum the chords, then arpeggiate -- listen to the song to hear how
specifically to do it. The strumming pattern for the rest of the song is very
easy: two down strokes for each chord. There appears to be some palm muting as well.
Intro: Am Dm Am E
Verse:
Am Dm Am E
Once there were green fields kissed by the sun
Am Dm Am E
Once there were valleys where rivers used to run
Chorus:
F G C A7*
Once there were blue skies with white clouds high above
Dm7 G7 C E
Once they were part of an everlasting love
Am Dm Am E F Am Dm E
We were the lovers who strolled through green fields
Green fields are gone now, parched by the sun
Gone from the valleys where rivers used to run
[ Tab from: https://www.guitartabs.cc/tabs/b/brothers_four/greenfields_crd_ver_2.html ]
Gone with the cold wind that swept into my heart
Gone with the lovers who let their dreams depart
Where are the green fields that we used to roam
Bridge:
F C
I'll never know what made you run away
F C
How can I keep searching when dark clouds hide the day
Am Dm
I only know there's nothing here for me
Am Dm F E
Nothing in this wide world, left for me to see
Verse:
Still I'll keep on waiting until you return
I'll keep on waiting until the day you learn
Chorus:
You can't be happy while your heart's on the roam
You can't be happy until you bring it home
Home to the green fields and me once again
Coda: strum, then arpeggiate Am-Dm-Am-E pattern, then end with an Am, barred at
the 5th fret. Play this:
e|----------------------5--------------------|
B|---------------5------5--------------------|
G|---------5-----5---------------------------|
D|---------7---------------------------------|
A|-------------------------------------------|
E|-5-----------------------------------------|
Odd chords:
A7*: x02223
