Eva Cassidy

Eva Cassidy

Eva Marie Cassidy was born on February 2nd, 1963. Music was introduced to Eva at an early age by her father, Hugh - who surrounded her with the voices of Pete Seeger, Buffy St. Marie and Ray Charles. He taught Eva how to play the guitar and she learned to accompany herself and her siblings (Anette, Margret and Dan) in a family music group.

As a teenager, Eva sang with friends in several bands and groomed her musical talents and performance skills. By the early 1990s she was doing studio work, performing with her friends - and then recorded "The Other Side" with Chuck Brown. Eva's career turned a corner that would lead her to pursue more solo work. She developed a repertoire of "great" songs that inspired her, and would later be the reason we all remember her - not for songs she wrote, but for songs that she interpreted and made her own.

Eva's voice was recorded at many of her performances at local Annapolis and Washington DC venues, and at studio sessions - little did we all know that this was a miracle. Eva's young life was cut short on November 2, 1996, by cancer. She was surrounded by music her entire life - now she surrounds our lives with her music. More

FIELDS OF GOLD
Eva Cassidy
(Guitar chords in Brackets)

[A]You'll remember me when the we[D]st wind moves
Upon the fields of bar[A]ley
You can tell the sun in his jea[D]lous sky
As we w[B7]alk in fie[E]lds of go[A]ld

So she took her love
For to gaze awh[D]ile
Upon the fields of ba[A]rley
In his[Fm7] arms she fell as her h[D]air came down
Am[B7]ong the fi[E]elds of gol[A]d

[A]Will you stay with me, will you b[D]e my love
Among the fields of bar[A]ley
You can tellthe sun in his jea[D]lous sky
When we w[B7]alked in fie[E]lds of go[A]ld

[A]I never made promises lightly
[A]And there have been some that I've broken [A]
But I swear in the d[Fm7]ays still left[D]
We'll [B7]walk in fie[E]lds of gol[A]d
We'll [B7]walk in fie[E]lds of gol[A]d

Many years have passed since those summer days
Among the fields of barley
See the children run as the sun goes down
As you lie in fields of gold

You'll remember me when the west wind moves
Upon the fields of barley
You can tell the sun in his jealous sky
When we walked in fields of gold

When we walked in fields of gold
When we walked in fields of gold
