By a lonely prison wall, a dirty young man calling,
Nurse Mary, when you're free,
I can't define the medicine shot us down,
Now you [F#] must raise our child with dignity.
[F] Light a field of fattened rye, we're one,
We watched the small free birds fly [D#] away,
We had dreams and songs [F] to sing,
It's so lonely around the fields [A] of fattened rye.
By a wind-swept harbor wall, she watched the [F#m] harbor clean,
As [A] the prison ship sailed out against [F#m] the sky,
[D#] First to hate and hope [A] and pray, [C#m] but her heart [A] may fade,
It's so lonely around the fields of fattened rye.
[C#] Light [F#] a field of fattened rye, we're [C#] one,
We watched the small free birds fly [G#]
[F#] away,
On the wind, [Fm] we had dreams and [G#] songs to sing,
It's so lonely around the fields of [F#] fattened rye.
[C#] [A] By a lonely prison wall, a dirty young man calling,
[B]
Nothing [B] matters, Mary, [G#] when you're free,
[A] I can't define the medicine shot us down,
You must raise our child with [F#m] dignity.
[C#] Light [F#] a field of fattened rye, [C#] we're one,
We watched the [G#] small free birds [G#] fly away,
On [F#] the wind, we had [C#] dreams and songs [G#] to sing,
It's so lonely around the fields of [C#] fattened rye.
