The Fields Of Athenry

B7 E E By a lonely prison wall A E B7 I heard a young girl calling E A B7 Micheal they are taking you away E A For you stole Trevelyn's corn E B7 So the young might see the morn. E A E Now a prison ship lies waiting in the bay. E A E C#m Low lie the Fields of Athenry E C#m B7 Where once we watched the small free birds fly. E A E B7 Our love was on the wing we had dreams and songs to sing E A E It's so lonely 'round the Fields of Athenry. E By a lonely prison wall A E B7 I heard a young man calling E A B7 Nothing matter Mary when your free, E A Against the Famine and the Crown E B7 I rebelled they cut me down E A E Now you must raise our child with dignity. E A E C#m Low lie the Fields of Athenry E C#m B7 Where once we watched the small free birds fly. E A E B7 Our love was on the wing we had dreams and songs to sing E A E It's so lonely 'round the Fields of Athenry. E By a lonely harbor wall A E B7 She watched the last star falling E A B7 As that prison ship sailed out against the sky E A Sure she'll wait and hope and pray E B7 For her love in Botany Bay E A E It's so lonely 'round the Fields of Athenry. E A E C#m Low lie the Fields of Athenry E C#m B7 Where once we watched the small free birds fly.
