[E] By your lonely prison wall
I [B]
heard [E] a young girl call
Michael, [A] they've taken you [B] away
[E] Fowdy stole Trafalgar's [A] corn
So [E] the young might see them [B] all
Now her present ship lies waiting
[E] In the bay
Low
[A] on [E] the fields of [C#m] Athenry
[E] Where once we'd watched [C#m] the small free [E] birds fly
Our love was on the wing
We had dreams and songs to sing
It's so lonely around the fields of Athenry
By your lonely prison wall
I heard a young man call
Nothing matters Mary when you're free
Against the famine and [A] the crown
[E] I rebelled, they shot me down
Now you must raise our child with dignity
Low [A] on [E] the fields [C#m] of Athenry
[E] Where once we'd watched [C#m] the small free [E] birds fly
Our love was on the wing
We had dreams and [B] songs to sing
It's so lonely around the fields of [E] Athenry
By your lonely prison wall
She [A] watched [E] the last star fall
As the prison ship [Em] sailed [E] out against the sky
[B] I [E]
chilled hope and love and prayed
For her love in Botany Bay
[B] It's so [E] lonely around the fields of Athenry
Low on the fields of Athenry
Where once we'd watched [C#m] the small free [E] birds fly
Our love was [A] on the wing
[E] We had dreams and songs to sing
It's so lonely around the fields of Athenry
[B] [C#]
Low on the [B] fields [E] [F#] of Athenry
[E] Where once we'd watched the small free birds fly
