By the lonely prison wall, I heard a young girl calling
G C D
Micheal they have taken you away
G C G D
For you stole trevelins corn so the young might see the morn
D G
Now a prison ship lies waiting in the bay
G C G Em
Low lie the Fields of Athenry
G D
where once we watched the small free birds fly
G C
our love was the wing
G D
We had dreams and songs to sing
D Dsus4 G
it’s so lonely round the Fields of Athenry

By the lonely prison wall, I heard a young man calling
G C D
Nothing matters Mary when your free
G C G D
against the famine and the Crown, i rebelled they cut medown
D G
now you must raise our child with dignity
G C G Em
Low lie the Fields of Athenry

where once we watched the small free birds fly
G C
our love was the wing
G D
We had dreams and songs to sing
D Dsus4 G
it’s so lonely round the Fields of Athenry
G C G D
By the lonely harbor wall, she watched the last star falling
G C D
as the prison ship sailed out against the sky
G C G D
for she lived to hope and pray for her love in Botanybay
D G
and it’s so lonely round the Fields of Athenry
