Chords for Fields Of Athenry - The High Kings (Special)

The thing about the Fields of Aftonroy, we wanted to get it back on the new album, you know.
And we just, we wanted to go back to the original form, which was what, you know, Pete wrote about,
instead of the whole cheering, you know, you can see it, hearing at the rugby match and all that kind of thing.
So we wanted to get the original concept back.
Excellent.
We hope we've done a good job.
Pete gave us the thumbs up.
Did he?
On your own time then, Brian, otherwise, OK.
