Tunning: Standard (E A D G B e)
Chords:

There are two kinds of playing Hm7, it’s easier to play it the first way, but I think
sound of the second way is much better.

Hm7 Hm7 D G A
E-------2-----------------2------------------2----------------3------------------0---|
B-------0-----------------3------------------3---------------(3)-----------------2---|
G-------2-----------------2------------------2----------------0------------------2---|
D-------0-----------------4------------------0----------------0------------------2---|
A-------2-----------------2----------------------------------- 2------------------0--|
E---------------------------------------------------------------3--------------------|

In the Intro are played some notes of A, it’s just something like this:

E----0----------0---------0-------0-----|
B-----2----------2---------2-------2----|
G------2----------2---------2-------2---|
D-------2----------2---------2-------2--|
A---------------------------------------|
E---------------------------------------|

(but I’m not really sure about this, but it is not as important…)

(So, the guitar doesn’t play anything in the first verses, but here are the chords if
want to sing it or play it for yourself…)
Hm7 G
You'll remember me when the west wind moves
G D
Upon the fields of barley
Hm7 G D
You'll forget the sun in his jealous sky
G A D
As we walk in fields of gold

Hm7
So she took her love
G
For to gaze awhile
G D
Upon the fields of barley
Hm7 G D
In his arms she fell as her hair came down
G A D
Among the fields of gold


(So, this was the easy part, now the guitar plays the notes which Sting is singing.)

Will you stay with me, will you be my love. Among the fields of barley
