[B]
[E]
By a lonely prison wall [A] I heard a young [E] girl
[B] calling
[E] Michael, they [A] have taken [B] you away
For [E] you stole [A] Trevelyan's corn So the [E] young might see the [B] morn
Now a prison [E] ship [B] lies waiting [E] in the bay
Low [A]
lie [E] the fields of [C#m] Athenry [E] For once we watched the small pre [B]-birds fly
Our [E] love was on [A] the wing We [E] had dreams and songs [B] to sing
It's so lonely round the fields [E] of Athenry
By a lonely prison wall [A] I heard a young man [E]
calling
[B]
Nothing [E] matters [A] Mary when you're [B] free
Against [E] the famine [A] and the crowd I [E] rebelled, they [B] cut me down
Now you must raise our child with [E] dignity
Low [A] lie [E] the fields of Athenry [C#m]
[E] For once we watched the small pre [B]-birds fly
Our
[E] love [A] was on the wing We [E] had dreams and [B] songs to sing
It's so lonely round the fields [E] of Athenry
By a lonely harbor wall [A] she watched the [E] last star falling
[B]
As the [E] prison ship [A] sailed out against [B] the sky
[E] For she lived in hope and [A]
prayed For [E] her love in Botany [B]
Bay
It's so lonely round the fields of [E] Athenry
[A] Low lie [E] the fields [C#m] of Athenry [E] For once we watched the small pre-birds [B] fly
Our [E] love was on [A] the wing We [E] had dreams and songs [B] to sing
It's so lonely round the fields [E] of Athenry
