Fields of Athenry [A] By a lonely prison wall, I [D] heard a young girl [A] call[E]ing, [A] Michael they have[D] taken you a[E]way, For you [A] stole Trevelyn’s [D] corn, so the [A] young might see the [E] morn, Now a prison ship lies [E7] waiting in the [A] bay. |[Chorus] |[A] Low [D] lie the [A] fields of Athen[F#m]ry, |Where [A] once we watched the small free birds [E] fly, |Our [A] love was on the[D] wing, |We had[A] dreams and songs to [E] sing, |It's so [E] lonely round the [E7] fields of Athen[A]ry. By a [A] lonely prison wall, I [D] heard a young man [A] call[E]ing, [A] Nothing matters [D] Mary when you’re [E] free, Against the [A] famine and the [D] Crown, I re[A]belled, they cut me [E] down, Now you [E] must raise our [E7] child with digni[A]ty. [Chorus] By a [A] lonely harbour wall,she [D] watched the last star [A] fall[E]ing, As the [A] prison ship sailed [D] out against the [E] sky, For she’ll [A] live in hope and [D] pray,for her [A] love in Botany [E] Bay, It's so [E] lonely round the [E7] fields of Athen[A]ry [Chorus] [Chorus a capella]
