[G]
[C] [F] By a lonely prison wall I heard a young girl [C] calling
[F] Michael they have taken you away
for you stole Trevelyan's corn so the young might see them all
as the prison ship lies waiting in the bay
Long
[F] lie the fields of Athenry
where once we watched the small free birds fly
Our love was on the wing we had dreams and songs to sing
it's so lonely round the fields of Athenry
[C] [G]
[C] By [F] a lonely prison wall [Bb] I heard a young man [G] calling
[F] Michael they have taken you away for you stole Trevelyan's corn
Nothing matters [C] Mary when you're free
[F] Against the famine and [Bb] the crown I [F] rebelled they [C] called me down
[Gm] Now you must raise [C] our child with [F] dignity
[Bb] [F] Long [Bb] [N] lie the fields of Athenry
and all he wanted to do was to feed his starving family.
