[Verse 1]
G C G D By a lonely prison wall I heard a young girl calling G C D Michael, they have taken you away G C G D For you stole Trevelyan's corn so the young might see the morn D G Now a prison ship lies waiting in the bay
[Chorus]
G C G Em G D Low lie the fields of Athenry where once we watched the small free birds fly G C G D Our love was on the wing, we had dreams and songs to sing D G It's so lonely round the fields of Athenry
[Verse 2]
G C G D By a lonely prison wall I heard a young man calling G C D Nothing matters Mary, when you're free G C G D Against the famine and the crown I rebelled, they cut me down D G Now you must raise a child with dignity
[Chorus]
G C G Em G D Low lie the fields of Athenry where once we watched the small free birds fly G C G D Our love was on the wing, we had dreams and songs to sing D G It's so lonely round the fields of Athenry
[Verse 3]
G C G D By a lonely harbour wall she watched the last star falling G C D As the prison ship sailed out against the sky G C G D Sure she'll wait and hope and pray for her love in Botany Bay D G It's so lonely round the fields of Athenry
[Chorus]
G C G Em G D Low lie the fields of Athenry where once we watched the small free birds fly G C G D Our love was on the wing, we had dreams and songs to sing D G It's so lonely round the fields of Athenry
