By a lonely prison wall

F                            C     G
I heard a young girl calling

C                          F             G
Michael, they have taken you away

C                  F
For you stole Trevelyn's corn

           C                           G
So the young might see the morn
G C Now a prison ship lies waiting in the bay [Chorus]
C     F       C           Am
Low lie the fields of Athenry

C                                       Am                   G

It's so lonely 'round the fields of Athenry

Nothing matters, Mary when you're free

Now you must raise our child with dignity

By a lonely harbor wall

C                                   F                     G
As that prison ship sailed out against the sky

C                                           F
Sure she'll wait and hope and pray
