Listening to it as I write this response...Her version is in the key of 'A'. A capo is on the 7th fret and she plays the song in 'D' formation chords...'Here Comes the Sun' uses the same combination of capo/chord forms.

does not the original by sting make eva's somewhat short as hers is incomplete?.
The song was voted most popular folk-song of all time song by the british folk public 3 years ago.
I do have s'bird and i do enjoy eva's version.

Why is there no credit given to Sting for the song in this thread? especially with the posted lyrics.Tut-tut.

Probably, because the assumption is that anyone familiar with the song would 'know' that. I 'do' agree that when posting lyrics credit should be given to the author...Tut-tut, indeed.

Fields of Gold - Sting version

The links I gave are just somebody's interpretation of the song, not the official version. I suggest you buy the 'Songbird' music book if you want the real thing.

Fields of Gold was written by Sting (aka Gordon Summer I think his name is)

What's a ceilidh? And why don't people call him Gordie? Wasn't it funny when Rosie O'Donnell refered to him appearing in a video when it was actually Phil Collins? Isn't he a pretentious F@#$-head?
