[B]
[E] Hi-ya, hi-ya, hi-ya!
Shut up, you!
My lonely prison wall
[A] I heard a young [E] girl
[B] calling
Michael, [E] they [A] have taken you [B] away
For [E] you stole Trevelyan's [A] car
So [E] the young might see [B] the mark
Now a prison ship lies waiting [E] in the bay
Lord, [A] I,
[E] the fear of [C#m] that crime
[E] Where once we watched the small [B] fevered fly
[E] Our 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
My lonely prison wall
[A] I heard a young [E] man [B] calling
Nothing
[E] [A] matters, Mary, when [B] you're free
Against [E] the famine and [A] the crown
I [E] rebelled, they cut [B] me down
Now you must raise our child with [E] dignity
On your own now, give it a lash, here we go
No, no, [A] no, no, no, no, no, no,
[E] [C#m]

[E] [A]
[E] [B] no
My
[E]
lonely harbor wall
[A] She watched the last [E] star [B] falling
As [E] the prison ship [A] set out against [B] the sky
For [E] she lived in hope [A] and pray
For [E] her love and bought [B] me back
It's so lonely round the fields of [E] Athenry
Let's hear it now
Lord, [A] I, [E] the fear of that [C#m] crime
[E] Where once we watched the small [B] fevered fly
Our [E] love was [A] on the wing
We [E] had dreams and [B] songs to sing
It's so lonely round the fields of [E] Athenry
One more last time, let's hear it now
Lord, [A]
I, [E] the fear of that [C#m] crime
Where [E] once we watched the small [B] fevered fly
[E] Our love was [A] on the wing
[E] We had dreams and [B] songs to sing
It's so lonely round the fields of [E] Athenry
[A]
[E] Well done!
[N] Thank you!
Wonderful!
[E] Hi-ya, hi-ya, hi-ya!
Shut up, you!
