Romanza

The Tab is made up of ‘blocks”  try to learn them one at a time.  Start real slow but with the correct rhythm (which is very simple) and gradually build up speed.  Practice little sections individually if you struggle.  Give your fingers time to get used to the shapes.

You can then string them together in almost any order to play this song and it will sound fine.

This is me going through the blocks roughly in turn.

Sounds OK doesn’t it?

Without going all bohemian try to “feel” the song as you play it.

Let me know how you get on, good luck and enjoy it.

Fields Of Gold- Sting

INTRO:
Play "Bridge"
Play "Pipe"

Verse 1:
You'll remember me when the west wind moves
Upon the fields of barley
You'll forget the sun in his jealous sky
As we walk in fields of gold

Play "Pipe"

Verse 2:
So she took her love for to gaze awhile
Upon the fields of barley
In his arms she fell as her hair came down
Among the fields of gold

Verse 3:
Will you stay with me will you be my love
Upon the fields of barley
We'll forget the sun in his jealous sky
As we lie in fields of gold

Play "Pipe"

Verse 4:
See the west wind move like a lover's soul
Upon the fields of barley
Feel her body rise when you kiss her mouth
Among the fields of gold

BRIDGE:
I never made promises lightly
And there have been some that I've broken
But I swear in the days still left
We will walk in fields of gold

INSTRUMENTAL:
Play "Verse"
Play "Pipe"

Verse 5:
Many years have passed since those summer days
Upon the fields of barley
See the children run as the sun goes down
Among the fields of gold

Verse 6:
You'll remember me when the west wind moves
Upon the fields of barley
You can tell the sun in his jealous sky
When we walked in fields of gold

Play "Pipe" and hold final G chord

This is another great tune for beginners to have a go at because it gets you into some simple chord shapes and has some double hammer-ons for you to get your head around.

This pieced is based on the Sting song - all credit to him of course and this version is purely for personal or study purposes.  The tab I am using comes from a bloke called David Hodge at this site.  I highly recommend this site and David in particular for some excellent on line “lessons”.

Here are the two main chord shapes we will use;

C plus added optional pinky on the B string                                               and G.
