[E]
By a lonely prison wall I heard [A] a young girl [E] [B] callin'
[E] Michael, they [A] have taken you [B] away
For [E] you stole Trevelyan's [A] corn So [E] the young might see [B] the morn
Our prison ship lies waiting in [E] the bay
[A] Low lie [E] the fields of [C#m] Athenry [E] Where once we watched [C#m] the small free [B] birds fly
[E] Our love was on [A] the wing [E] We had dreams and songs [B] to sing
It's so lonely round the fields of [E] Athenry
By a lonely prison wall [A] I heard a young [E] man [B] callin'
[E]
[B] [E] Nothing [A] matters, Mary, when [B] you're [F#m] free
[B] Against [E] the famine and [A] the crowd I [E] rebelled, they caught me [B] down
Now you must raise our child with [E] dignity
[A] Low lie [E] the fields of [C#m] Athenry [E] Where once we [G#m] watched [C#m] the small free [B] birds fly
[E] Our love was on [A] the wing [E] We had dreams and songs [B] to sing
It's so lonely round the fields of [E] Athenry

a lonely harbor wall [A] she watched the last [E] hour [B] fallin'

It's so lonely round the fields of [E] Athenry
