[B] [G#m] [B]

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