The Fields Of Athenry

| A    | A    | D    | D    |


[Verse 1]

     D                     G      
By a lonely prison wall, I heard a
            D  A
 young girl calling
D                  G          A
Michael, they have taken you away
        D                  G      
For you stole Trevelyan's corn so 
    D                    A
the young might see the morn'
      A                          
Now a prison ship lies waiting in 
     D
the bay


[Chorus]

D   G       D              Bm
Low lie the fields of Athenry
      D                            
where once we watched the small 
        A
free birds fly
    D               G
Our love was on the wing
       D                   A
We had dreams and songs to sing
        A                A7       
It's so lonely round the fields of
      D
 Athenry


[Verse 2]

     D                     G      
By a lonely prison wall, I heard a
           D  A
 young man calling
D                G                
Nothing matters, Mary, when you're 
 A
free
            D              G      
Against the famine and the crown, 
    D                   A
I rebelled, they cut me down
    A                            
Now you must raise our child with 
      D
dignity


[Chorus]

D   G       D              Bm
Low lie the fields of Athenry
      D                            
where once we watched the small 
        A
free birds fly
    D               G
Our love was on the wing
       D                   A
We had dreams and songs to sing
        A                A7       
It's so lonely round the fields of
      D
 Athenry


[Verse 3]

     D                       
By a lonely harbour wall, she 
 G                     D  A
watched the last star falling
       D                  G 
As the prison ship sailed out 
              A
against the sky
          D                 G     
For she'd live in hope and pray 
      D               A
for her love in Botany Bay
        A                          
It's so lonely round the fields of 
     D
Athenry


[Chorus]

D   G       D              Bm
Low lie the fields of Athenry
      D                            
where once we watched the small 
        A
free birds fly
    D               G
Our love was on the wing
       D                   A
We had dreams and songs to sing
        A                A7

D   G       D              Bm
Low lie the fields of Athenry

where once we watched the small 
        A
free birds fly
    D               G
Our love was on the wing
       D                   A
We had dreams and songs to sing
        A                A7       
It's so lonely round the fields of
