[B]
[E]
By a lonely prison wall [A] I heard a young [E] girl [B] calling
[E] Michael, they [A] have taken you [B] away
For [E] you stole [A] Trevelyan's corn So [E] the young might see [B] the morn
Now a prison ship lies waiting [E] in the bay
Low [A]
lie [E] the fields of [C#m]
Athenry
[E] Where once we watched the small free birds [B] fly
Our [E] love was on [A] the wing We [E] 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 man [E]
[B] calling
[E] Nothing matters [A]
Mary when [B] you're free
Against [E] the famine and [A] the crowd I [E] rebelled, they cut me [B]
down
Now you must raise our child with [E] dignity
Low [A]
lie the [E] fields of [C#m]
Athenry
[E] Where once we watched the small free birds [B] fly
Our love was on [A] the wing We [E] had dreams and songs [B] to sing
It's so lonely [E] [B] round the fields of [E] Athenry
By a lonely harbor wall [A] she watched the last star [E] [B] falling
[E] As the prison ship [A] sailed out against the [B] sky
For [E] she lived in hope [A] and prayed [E] for her love in Botany [B] Bay
It's so lonely [B] round the fields of [E] Athenry
[A]
[E] Low lie [E] the fields of [C#m] Athenry
[E] Where once we watched the small free birds [C#] fly
[B] Our [E] love [F#] was on the [A] wing We had [E] dreams and songs to [B] sing
It's [B] so lonely round the fields of [E]
[A] Athenry
[E]
[N]
Thank you.
