This is tablature — fret positions rather than chord names. Wide lines scroll sideways on their own, so the page never does.

This is the riff that appears half way through

You have to listen for the changes in time - rhythm varies on each

repeat, but overall very easy riff to play

Let's wander slowly through the fields

Slowly, slowly through the fields

I touch the leaves that touch the sky

Just you and I, through the fields of joy

All trouble slowly fades away

Slowly slowly fades away

I hold your hand inside my hand

Across the land - through fields of joy

The sound of music that we hear

The blend of colours in the air

All cities, mountains disappear from view

All truth and beauty near to me and you

With you through the fields

With you through the fields

With you through the fields

The fields of Joy

Let's wander slowly through the fields

Slowly, slowly through the fields

I know our love will never die

Just you and I

Through fields of Joy

Through fields of Joy

Lenny Kravitz - Fields of Joy

(according to Ralf <gesellen@gwdg.de>,

SOLO by Andreas <biv94abm@macpost.student.lu.se>)

Thanx to Andreas <biv94abm@macpost.student.lu.se> whose frame I am using

- unfortunately my transcription of the TABs and chords is different, so

this is my version of how I perceive the really excellent song. (Ralf):

Special chords for the middle part:

EAdgbe

B(VII) 799877 \ you should stress the bass strings (E-d)

D/A 557775 | and preferably omit the discant ones

E/G# 476454 | which allows you to cope with the fingering

G(III) 355433 / slightly easier, too

All words following are originally from Andreas - I only changed

the chords and TABS (except SOLO):

"This is a favorite of mine. Maybe the solo isn't perfect, please mail

me if you find anything you think is wrong.

Repeat through verses 1, 2 and 4:

e|------------------------
B|------------------------
G|------------------------
D|----4----4----4-2--2-2-1
A|-2----0-----------------
E|-----------4----3--3-3-3

B D E G <--Chords for verse 3 and solo

Let's wander slowly through the fields

Slowly, slowly through the fields

I touch the leaves that touch the sky

Just you and I through the fields of joy

All trouble slowly fades away

Slowly, slowly fades away

I hold your hand inside my hand

Across the land through the fields of joy

The sound of music that we hear

The blend of colors in the air

All cities, mountains disappear from view

All truth and beauty near to me and you

B(VII) D/A E/G# G(III) (A)

With you through the fields

With you through the fields

With you through the fields, the fields of joy

SOLO (by Slash) [TABs at bottom]

B D E G (A)

Lets wander slowly through the fields

Slowly, slowly through the fields

I know our love will ne- ver die

Just you and I through the fields of joy

Through fie-e-e-e-e-elds o-o-o-o-of joooooooooooy

Notations:

----5----  play fret five

----5~--- play fret five with vibrato

---7\5--- play fret seven, slide down to fret five

---8(9)-- play fret eight, bend the string (at fret eight) to reach

the pitch of fret nine

---(9)8-- play fret eight already bent to the pitch of fret nine,

unbending until it reaches the normal pitch of fret eight

----h7--- hammer-on to fret seven

----p5--- pull-off to fret five

---/12--- slide up to fret 12 (the starting fret of the slide is

undefined, judge by ear)

The | doesn't really mean anything, I just put them where they made

sense to me.

By the way, this is my first posting here, should I do anything special

to see too that this ends up in Nevada, or does someone else take care

of that?" (Andreas)

HAVE FUN! As for the last paragraph, I could say/ask the same... Ralf.
