[N] [D] So this next song [G]
is time for you to sing along.
[Bb] It has become an anthem [C] across the world.
You hear it at every football [Bb] pitch, every football game, every GAA game, everything.
It is the fields of Athenry.
[Ab] [Eb]
And it's your chance to sing along.
[F]
[Cm] [F]
[Bb] [Gm] [C]
By [F] a lowly [C] prison wall [Bb] I heard a young [F] girl call
Michael, [Bb] they've taken [F] you away
For you stole [Bb] Trevelyan's corn
So [F] the young might see [C] the morn
As [Gm] a prison ship [F] lies waiting in the bay
The [Bb]
lines [F] of [Dm] Athenry
[F] Where once we watched the small free birds fly
Our love was [Bb] unknowing
[F] We had dreams and songs to sing
It's so lonely round the fields of Athenry
[Gm] [C] By [F] a lowly prison wall [Bb] I heard a young man [F]
fall
[C] Nothing
[F] [Bb] matters Mary [C] when you're free
Against [F] the famine and [Bb] the crowd
I [F] rebound, they caught me down
[Gm] Now you must raise [C] our child with [F] dignity
[Bb]
[F] [C] The [F]
[Bb] [F] fields of [Dm] Athenry
[F] Where once we watched the small [Bb] free [C] birds fly
[F] Our love was [Bb] unknowing
We [F] had dreams and [C] songs to sing
It's so lonely [Gm] [C] round the fields of [F] Athenry
[Gm]
[C] [F] By
[C] [Gm]
[C]
a [G] lowly harbor [F] wall she [Bb] watched the [F] last star fall
[C] As [F] a prison ship [Bb] sailed out against the sky
[C] But [F] she lives to hope [Bb] and pray
For [F] her love in [C] Bodney Bay
It's so [G] lonely [C] round the fields of [F] Athenry
[Bb]
Sing [F] along, top of your voice, here we go
The [Bb] [F] fields of [Dm] Athenry
[F] Where once we watched the small free birds [Cm]
fly
Our [F] love was
[Bb] unknowing
We [F] had dreams and [C] songs to [F] sing
It's so [Gm] lonely [C] round the fields of [F]
Athenry
[Bb] [F] Oh,
[Bb] by [F] the fields of [Dm] Athenry
[F] Where once we watched the small free [Cm] birds fly
[F] Our love was [Bb]
unknowing
We [F] had dreams and songs to sing
[Gm] It's so lonely [C] round [F]
the [G] [F]
fields of Athenry
[Bb] [F]
Thank you!
