[Em]
Why did that [E] happen?
I want to hear you sing it.

[E] [B]
[F#] [B] [E]
[A] [B]
[E]
[A] [E]
[B] Long ago, far, far gone,
Now a prison ship lies [F#m] waiting in the [E]
bay.
Low [A] lie [E] the fields [C#m] of Adenrein,
[E] Where once we watched the small free birds fly.
[B] [E] Our love was [A] on the wing,
[E] We had dreams and songs to [B] sing,
But so lonely round the fields of [E]
Adenrein.
By a lonely prison wall,
[A] I heard a young [E] man calling,
[B]
[E] Nothing [A] matters, Mary, when you're free.
[B]
Against [E] the famine [A] and the crowd,
[E] I rebelled, they cut me [B] down.
Now you must raise our child with [E] dignity.
Sing it with me, come on.
Low [A] lie [E] the fields of [C#m]
Adenrein,
[E] Where once we watched the small free [B] birds fly.
[E] Our love was on [A] the wing,
[E] We had dreams and songs [B] to sing,
But so lonely round the fields of [E] Adenrein.
By a lonely harbor wall,
She [A] watched the last [E] star falling,
[B]
[E] As the prison ship [A] sailed out against the sky.
[B] For [E] she lived in hope [A] and praying
[E] For her love in [B] Botany Bay.
So lonely round the [F#m] fields of [E]
Adenrein.
Let's hear you, come on.
Low [A] lie [E] the fields of [C#m] Adenrein,
[E] Where once we watched the small [C#] free birds fly.
[F#m] [B] [E] Our love was on [A] the wing,
[E] We had dreams and songs [B] to sing,
But so lonely round the fields of [A]
Adenrein.
[E] [N]
