"Green Fields" was written by Terry Gilkyson, Richard Dehr, and Frank Miller in 1960 and was made popular by the folk singers, the Brothers Four.
"Green Fields" is a lament about days gone by, and is played at a slow tempo. Even so, I have notated the song as pop swing, as the usage of so many eighth-note triplets gives the piece a slow swing feel. I have adjusted the attack and duration of the eighth notes to approximate this feel.
If you would like to see the lyrics or the chords, you can use Composer commands to display them: for lyrics use qsl; for chords use qscn.
