[D] Long lie [A] the fields [F#m] of Athenry, [A] where once we watched the small free [E] birds fly.
[A] Our love was [D] on the wing, [A] we had dreams and [E] songs to sing.
It's so lonely around the fields [A] of Athenry.
By a lonely prison wall [D] I heard a [A] young man [E]
calling.
[A]
Nothing [D] matters, Mary, when [E] you're free.
[A] Against the famine [D] and the crown, [A] I rebelled, they cut [E] me down.
Now you must raise a child with [A]
dignity.
