The Fields Of Athenry


            D                                G                              D   A
By the lonely prison wall, I heard a young girl cal-ling
D                              G                   A
Micheal they have taken you away
              D                         G                   D                                  A
For you stole Trevelyns corn so the young might see the morn
                               A7                    D
A prison ship lies waiting in the bay

[Chorus]

D     G          D                      b
Low lie the fields of Athenry
            D                                                                A / A7
Where once we watched the small free birds fly
       D                          G
Our love was on the wing
              D                                   A
We had dreams and songs to sing
           A                           A7                     D
It’s so lonely round the fields of Athenry

By the lonely prison wall, I heard a young man cal-ling
“Nothing matters Mary when you’re free
Against the famine and the crown, I rebelled they cut me down
Now you must raise our child with dignity”

[Chorus]

By the lonely harbor wall, she watched the last star fal-ling
As the prison ship sailed out against the sky
For she lived to hope and pray for her love in Botany Bay
It’s so lonely round the fields of Athenry

[Chorus]
