As [D]I was walking [G]down a lane a[D]mong the fields of [G]daisies

A [C]maiden [Am]fair was [G]standing there with [D7]sadness in her [G]gazing -G

A [D]stranger then came [G]into view, her [D]beauty he was [G]praising

My [C]Johnny’s [Am]gone a[G]way, she cried, and [D7]no one can re[G]place him -G

[D]Oh Mary dear, he [G]said to her, [D]do you not re[G]member

[C]I’m your [Am]Johnny, [G]home again, and [D7]never more we’ll [G]sever -G

And [D]Mary, did you [G]hear the news, there’s [D]been a new a[G]greement

[D]Oh you are not the [G]one, she cried, [D]your eyes are filled with [G]troubles

My [C]Johnny [Am]had a [G]gentle soul, a [D7]heart so full of [G]loving -G

And [D]cursed be the [G]cruel day that [D]gave your mind its [G]reasons

That [C]led you [Am]from the [G]gentle ways a[D7]mong the fields of [G]daisies -G

[D]Oh Mary dear, ‘twas [G]all for you  [D]to save our home from [G]danger

But [C]all the [Am]dreams are [G]lost in vain if [D7]I am now a [G]stranger -G

But [D]bitter days bring [G]learning ways, it’s [D]only you can [G]save me

If [C]you would [Am]hold me [G]one more time  a[D7]mong the fields of [G]daisies -G
